From the mistaken idea that humans have a remanent “lizard” brain to the rhetoric of the “culture wars,” our contemporary political and social discourse is increasingly supportive of emotional reactivity, encouraging us to react immediately and disproportionately to predictable triggers that seem to carry with them the weight of existential threat.  In today’s worship, Rev. Susan celebrates the human capacity to keep one’s own emotional stability and clarity of thought even while under stress.  This capacity is not only an essential aspect of spiritual wholeness, but of healthy democracies that can negotiate difference without violence.
