Pinch Me! the Urban Center for Spirituality has really happened! Last Monday evening a small group of supporters from Franciscan Living and Sunlight of the Spirit gathered for an interfaith ceremony of blessing for our joint venture at 2314 J Street.
Rabbi Shula Stevens began the ceremony with a berakah, the blessing of challah and grape juice. in preparation for the installation of mezuzahs on each of the entrances to the building. Sister Claire Graham, a Sister of Social Service, and mentor to both "Sunlight" and Franciscan Living, blessed the retail space for Sunlight and the spiritual direction office for Franciscan Living. The Reverend Michael Moran, from the Spiritual Life Center, blessed the business office for "Sunlight" and I led all gathered in a blessing for the Magdalen room, a space where people associated with both of our groups will gather for SoulCollage, meditation, body prayer, small faith sharing groups, 12 step meetings, and other activities that support the growth of spirituality and wholeness.
Blessings,
