FLOURISHING!

Harvard University is talking about it. The Vatican is talking about it. UNESCO is talking about it. And also, the Moderator, The Right Rev. Dr. Carmen Lansdowne, is talking about it:

Flourishing. 

Living a good, fulfilling life, a life with a sense of purpose.

The Moderator is on a three-year journey to connect with the nation on big questions. With the goal of enhancing “flourishing” in church, among our leadership, and within the broader community, she is encouraging dialogue on this question of flourishing, and how it could influence our future.

To flourish, we need to dream in ways that inspire tangible actions so individuals and communities across the nation and the world can flourish. We need solutions to particular challenges, and also invitations to collaborate so we can address them.

We need bold ideas.

To flourish, we need a strong social fabric. We need to be rooted in a sense of place, a sense of belonging. We need structures that work for everyone, a strong local economy and community.

We need daring connections.
