Of Butterflies and Starfish:

The hard and gentle work of interdependence

Two modern parables that have deep resonance for many spiritual folk are the “Butterfly Effect” and the “Starfish on the Beach.” They are lovely stories about our effect on the world around us, but also not entirely true or helpful once we scratch the surface. Ultimately, interdependence is both entirely natural and extremely hard and gentle work. But thankfully the world, and our traditions, are filled with examples of how to find grace and hope on being bound inextricably to every single thing.

RE: Andrew B. Nursery: Lily B.

Jay McDivitt served as a Lutheran pastor for 15 years before transitioning into a new vocation as an attorney in 2021. He credits the Unitarian Universalist Association for feeding his passion for justice and keeping the flame of faith alive for him in his teens and twenties, before finding his faith home again in the church of his youth.

His theology gained new depth and breadth when he took a class on Friedrich Schleiermacher from Thandeka, a UUA pastor and theologian, in seminary. His master's thesis put Schleiermacher, Luther, and Queer theory in conversation to construct a theology of "church" that is deeply rooted in the body--our own bodies, and the bodies we are called to love.

WELCOME, JAY!
