Reverend Shana Lynngood – In many circles, a high value is placed on honesty. In congregational life it can be important to be honest about our perspective and our feelings, and at the same time be mindful about how we express those honest impressions. As we begin this month our exploration of honesty, we will look at our efforts to be transparent in our decision-making and motivations, and how to share honestly without being unnecessarily hurtful.
