Our Vision: A Spiritual Center |
||||||||||||
|
Over the last thirty-two years we have been fortunate
as an organization to have a wealth of spiritual and cultural resources
from which to create and nurture a unique and ever-evolving queer
spirituality.
The people who make up the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities come from the full range of human experience and each person brings a gift to the spirituality that is the hallmark of MCC San Francisco. Our spirituality is creative, thoughtful, and active. Drawing from myriad talents and experiences we develop new expressions of our spirituality that appeal to a widening world of seekers. We build on our traditions without being hemmed in by them, remolding them to better approach our changing experience of the divine. Our spirituality leads us to act boldly and passionately in a world where words and plans are plentiful but where helping hands are most needed. What San Francisco—indeed the entire world—needs is a place in which queer spirituality can be conceived, nurtured, and encouraged with the hopes of transforming ourselves and the world in which we live. Such a place would be the “house of prayer for all people” spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, and which we at MCC-SF have claimed to be for many years. We propose to build that place in the heart of San Francisco. We are not certain of all the details, but we are certain of the vision. In San Francisco there will be a place that will become known as a significant place of spirit, thought, and action. Our community needs such a place to develop its spirituality, our new witness. The world needs such a beacon as this place. We at MCCSF want to provide that place for ourselves, for the community, and for the world. |
