Our June theme of Beauty brings to mind words like reverence and awe. Remembering one of my dear professors at Meadville Lombard Theological School, I added reason to the trinity.  In his book, Reason and Reverence: Religious Humanism for the 21st Century, Rev. William Murry writes, “Since the beginning of recorded history, part of the religious impulse in humankind has been to be open to the mystery that lies in and around us and to respond to that mystery with feelings of reverence and astonishment.”  What we revere we typically want to protect. How might our feelings of reverence and astonishment inform our response to the ethical and moral dilemmas we encounter today?
