Dear beLOVEd,
As we bring the year to a close I am present to the many gifts this community provides in Chicago and beyond – tens of thousands of hours of spiritual education touching tens of thousands of lives with the express intention of disrupting the psychosis of fear and lack while cultivating and liberating the ingenuity of the human spirit.

On Sunday, we said farewell to Kim Revere, founding member of Bodhi and leader in the community for the past 12 years. As she has so many times before, Kim blessed us with her voice and music, as well as a message about finding peace while consciously readying yourself for change, and in it, transformation.
As we conclude the last segment of our Building the beLOVEd Community series with a focus on our eight Spiritual Practices, Rev. Lola Wright gave her message, “Grateful for No-thing,” in which she talks about three different types of gratitude. See the message notes below.
Reverend Christy Snow joined us on Sunday with her message “Moving At The Peace Of Pace,” as we continue our series examining Bodhi’s eight Spiritual Practices.
Bishop Carlton Pearson joined us again this past Sunday, as always bringing his signature passion and vocabulary, to teach about the natural law of giving and receiving with his message, “The Science of Giving and Receiving.”
Reverend Gaylon McDowell, a Minister at Christ Universal Temple in Chicago and frequent Bodhi contributor, joined us again on Sunday to deliver his message, “The Divine Law of Compensation.”
I realized that I have an unconscious theme in my titles as of late: “Change is Always at Hand” and “Good is Always at Hand.” So now, I will add “New is Always at Hand.” In July, the Core Council learned that our Founder Rev. Mark Anthony Lord would be moving on from his role as Senior Minister. In preparation for Rev. Mark Anthony’s departure, an Interim Spiritual Council was formed of Joan Coletto, LSP, Kim Revere, LSP and myself.
Since that time the Core Council and Spiritual Council have listened and acted intentionally and prayerfully while leading our Community. It has been beautiful to witness and participate in. As part of our practice, Rev. Dr. Kathy Hearn was engaged to lead us through the transition. Read More
Rev. Dr. Kathy Hearn continued our exploration of spirit-centered leadership, one of Bodhi’s eight spiritual practices, with her message, “When Spirit Leads The Way.”
