Achieving real social and economic justice will require more than just charity and generosity. We will also need to re-envision and re-interpret some of our system’s basic economic concepts. One approach is to rethink the meaning of property, following a path that Thomas Paine (inspired by Native American societies) laid out more than 200 years ago.

In today’s service, with a Bridging Ceremony, we also celebrate our high school seniors who graduated in 2023.
