Mary Magdelene's Feast Day Message

Dear Beloved Companions,

I wish you many blessings today, Mary Magdalene's Feast Day. Her message and story have resurrected after two thousand years of being left out. Her story is a love story. She inspires us to awaken to the simple truth that the WAY that Jesus taught, the spiritual practice he modeled was about passionate loving, intimate, close relationships.

Where did Jesus learn this WAY of loving relationships? Did he learn it from Mary Magdlene? They learned it from one another just as we learn how to love from our relationships. The Partnership Way of Love is the love that is stronger than any suffering and even death.

I invite you to imagine in your mind's eye, Jesus and Mary Magdlene walking in the garden, holding hands and loving one another - and you are with them.

"And they walk with me and they talk with me and they tell me I am their own and the love they share as they tarry there, none other has ever known. "I Come to the Garden Alone" by C. Austin Miles adapted by me.

Let us recast the rugged individual cowboy type Jesus, you know they guy all alone or way off in the heavens somewhere. Let's pair him with Mary Magdalene in our religious imagination. Please imagine them as passionately, loving, close and intimate, perhaps as co ministers, or teacher and student, or lovers, a married couple, parents perhaps. Maybe one or all of the above. They had a loving partnership.

We celebrated her at the opening of An Interspecies Prayer, I love you, I love you, I love you. Amen, featuring The Holy Ghost Spirit Band, last weekend. May we honor her and Jesus as beloved companions today and everyday. May we model passionate, loving, intimate, close relationships in our own lives. Not just with humans but with all God's creatures, and not just with our friends but with our enemies, not just with those alive but those on the other side.

Cosmic Communion of Saints

Dear Creatures - Human and Non-Human,

You are all invited to our fifty-day Every Day is Earth Day Interspecies Prayer Breakfast Party! Lent and the time of fasting is over. As a daily practice we will break the fast and invite all the creatures. Together we pray. "For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." Isaiah 55:12 "Wild animals and all cattle, creeping things and flying birds! Let us pray and praise the name of God...". Psalm 148:10-12 All of us join in praise and prayers because God has promised to love all of us even before we were born, all throughout our lives and after.

Of course, we will talk together. We will enjoy deep conversation about God, prayer, the cosmic communion of saints. We will contemplate the vision of going back into God's body when we pass from this life. The Good News of the Gospel, (and it is not just for humans but for all species) "God loves you and there is nothing you can do about it." Did you know that it is a biblical idea that God welcomes all creatures into his love when we pass? All creatures are welcomed home!

The Easter season began last Sunday, and we celebrated the intimate love and partnership of Jesus and Mary Magdalene while in the Resurrection Rose Garden. We will continue to worship there and what has also become our sacred Eco Burial Ground. We recently spread the ashes of Luke and Wali the goats and our Beloved dog Buddy. The Resurrection Rose Garden is a sacred place to celebrate the communion of saints of all creatures.

"COME HAVE BREAKFAST" Here at Church for Our Common Home, at the John Cobb Eco Farm and Mary Magdalene Retreat Center, we have three chickens, Aretha, Hagar and Earmuffs who gift us with eggs every day. Jesus, in his third resurrection appearance, makes breakfast. He cooks the fish the fishermen have just caught and he says, "Come have breakfast." (John 21:12) "When they landed, they saw that a charcoal fire had been prepared, with fish and some bread already being grilled. “Bring some of the fish you just caught,” Jesus told them. Simon Peter went aboard and hauled ashore the net, which was loaded with huge fish—one hundred fifty-three of them. In spite of the great number, the net was not torn. “Come have breakfast.” Jesus told them. None of the disciples dared to ask, “Who are you?”—they knew it was the savior. Jesus came over, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. This marked the third time that Jesus had appeared to the disciples after being raised from the dead." (John 21: 9-14) This is not what they saw with their eyes, rather this is a faith seeing.

Like many people of faith we always pray before we eat together. We give thanks to God for creation and our part in it and for every breath we take. We give thanks for the countless blessings of our lives and the promise of God's love for all of us creatures.

Our Lenten journey with St. Teresa of Avila brought us to the center room of our souls in what she calls "the interior castle." She brought us to the bridal marriage chamber, or the intimate love of Jesus and Mary Magdalene that is the heart of the partnership model of Christianity. After the bride and groom, get married and celebrate, they make love in the bridal chamber. After sleep, dreams and visions of peace on earth, they awaken hungry. “Come have breakfast.” We are serving eggs, with prayer and conversation. It will be a big party for all the animals and plants are invited because this is an Interspecies Prayer Breakfast Party.

When I counsel couples before they are married, I ask them to share about their ideas and beliefs about life after death and inquire whether they have prepared a legal will of their wishes when they die. Preparing for death has everything to do with theology and your ideas and experiences of God called by many names. Whatever our religious ideas, we all know the existential truth that everything dies. However, nothings dies really, everything just changes form. You, me, all the animals, plants, even our 4.5-billion-year-old earth. But there is a cosmic story that transcends death. We are all a part of a story about God's love and care for all of creation.

This Spring and Earth Day season together we will, "Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel good new to all the creatures." Mark16:15 Together with the creatures we will celebrate, pray and enjoy breakfast. We need them to pray with us. "Talk to the animals they will teach you." (Job12:7)

Wow, I love our church. We are the one of the only churches I know of that worships, prays, talks, enjoys breakfast, cares and loves the animals and plants, eco-systems intentionally outside and in the paradise of the GARDEN.

P.S. How would you like your eggs? Scrambled, fried, poached, or soft boiled? Or we might make a quiche perhaps?

Holy Passionate Love of Jesus and Mary Magdalene on Easter, celebration of Walt's 50th AA and Bonnies 70yj bday

Where are you going for No Kings Day this Saturday? WOW, Holy Week has never been more poignant in my lifetime with the backdrop of American Empire and the new secret police kidnapping and terrorizing people and the suicidal, illegal and immoral war in Iran. Walt and I will march here in our small town of Dallas Oregon. Later on Saturday I will be standing in solidarity with "the least of these" at the ICE Concentration Camp in Portland with clergy from many faiths. Rev. Bryan Jessup and Dr. Walt Rutherford will lead Palm Sunday worship here at the Mary Magdalene Retreat Center and Church for Our Common Home.

We will celebrate the Holy Union and Partnership of Jesus and Mary Magdalene on Easter Sunday.

"......for nearly every great injustice perpetrated throughout history by authoritarian Christianity, liberal and moderate Christians—and many conservatives, too—have fought back. Progressive Christians helped lead the battle to abolish slavery. They’ve opposed imperialism, segregation, and science denial; fought for humane conditions for the American worker and for an end to child labor. Throughout history, Christian reform movements have dared to critically engage authority with scripture and tradition, supporting compassion, social justice, and human rights, as Jesus did........St. Francis of Assisi left the Crusades and preached against war. The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a Baptist, used the scriptures to shame white America out of the mutually destructive American apartheid of segregation.......Liberal and moderate Jesus-following Christians—and their allies—have the power to stand up to right-wing Christianity and call its adherents out on their own terms, using the very book fundamentalists wave around so bombastically. Never forget that the first-ever protest by a white person in this hemisphere against slavery and human rights abuses was against Columbus himself, led by his ship’s own Catholic priest, Bartolomé de Las Casas. There’s an inspiring true heritage of authentic Christianity, and it’s almost always manifested itself in resistance to Christian authoritarianism.

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND HATE... is a book about what Christianity started out as, what it became, and why it’s still worth fighting for. It’s about the grotesque mutation that is Christian nationalism and how fundamentalism has always been the opposite of Jesus, even though it gets most of the TV airtime. And it’ll show how the best of Christianity has always pushed back against the worst of it. This book is not an attack on God, Jesus, or Christianity. It’s not designed to ridicule people of faith or mock belief."

From my heart to yours in love,

Rev. Bonnie Tarwater Minister Church for Our Common Home 15435 Strong Road Dallas, Oregon 97338 (858) 248-5123 Zoom ID 3025719458 revtarwater@yahoo.com www.churchforourcommonhome.com www.ourcommonhomecounseling center.org

GPS God Psychology and Science navigating Lenten Inner Journey of the Soul

Lenten GPS God, Psychology and Science Navigating the

Inner Journey of the Soul

Join us this Lent as we give up a single one-dimensional focus of religion and Christianity and journey with a new transdisciplinary map; God, Jungian Psychology and new Science, intertwined and interconnected with Christianity.

Dear Friends,

GPS stands for Global Positioning System. It is a kind of miraculous modern internet map many of us use to navigate our journey to a desired destination. Lent is a time for an inner journey of the soul, and our Inner GPS will be a combination of the teachings of Jesus Christ and Carl Jung. We will also consider two scientists Suzanne Simard. a forest ecologist and the biologist Rupert Sheldrake. The GPS made by the U. S. Department of Defense in the 1970's, "provides critical positioning capabilities to military, civil, and commercial users around the world. Although the United States government created, controls, and maintains the GPS system, it is freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver." (Wikipedia)

Come be part of our Lenten journey as we use a kind of Inner GPS for a six-week pilgrimage. Our destination is the holy union of the mystical bride of Christ with her Beloved Jesus in the resurrection of Easter. Our guides are two modern Jungians, mystics and Christians, John Welch and Angela Meer. Please read John Welch's, book, Spiritual Pilgrims Carl Jung and Teresa of Avila (one You tube below by John Welch) and listen to some of Dr. Angela Meer's brilliant podcasts, found on her website The Christian Jung, www.angelameer.com. Both are teachers of Jungian psychology. Both are teacher Christianity. The combination of both Jungian psychology and Christianity has created an Inner GPS that will illuminate our Lenten inner journey of the soul.

Angela Meer The Christian Jung

youtube John Welch on Teresa of Avila

During Lent we imagine that we journey with Jesus in the desert wilderness where we join him as he navigates inner demons of the false self (ego). This year we are also invited to journey with Saint Teresa of Avila in her inner soul journey into her "interior castle." She describes her soul journey as a God adventure through a kind of "fairy tale like" castle made of crystal with millions of rooms. The desert wilderness and the inner castle are both symbolic places not literal places. Jesus and Teresa both faced inner demons of the false self and ego on their inner journeys in these very different symbolic landscapes. Teresa's symbol of an inner castle harkens to the teachings of Jesus ""In God's house are many rooms............." (John 14:2)

We learn about mysticism from studying the lives of the mystics. We have much to learn from the mystic psychologist and Christian Carl Jung. Many modern scientists are also self-professed mystics today and we will also reflect on the work of Suzanne Simard and Rupert Sheldrake. For six weeks during worship Sundays 4 pm pst we invite you to join our inner GPS Receiver made with God, Psychology and Science to navigate our Lenten Spiritual Pilgrimage of the soul. Six mystics, Jesus, Teresa, Carl, John, Angela, Suzanne and Rupert are all the cocreators of this Inner GPS Receiver. Together we hope to reach our destitution of Easter.

Our Lenten program invites you to do the following: Attend weekly Sunday worship online or in person with an intention to journey into our unconscious and ask God the Divine Therapist to heal us. You are encouraged to do daily reading from John Welches book, listen to podcasts regularly, journal writing, dream honoring, art making, staying informed about world news, contemplation and prayer.

Please contact me if you would like to join us for the Ash Wednesday worship service next week, Wednesday February 18th at the ICE Detention Center in Portland.

A Lenten Prayer for Sunday 2/15 - We dedicate this week to children who are sexually abused and unprotected by pedophiles, past present and future.

Dear God, we pray for the vulnerable world's children and the teenage and young girls that that are not being protected by a global network of rich and powerful pedophiles. We give thanks for journalists like Carole Cadwalladr who reveal the complexity of the issues we must face. s we learn more about American men and the global network of powerful rich men in the story of the Jefferey Epstein investigation. We need healing. We want to remain awake. Our wounds inflicted by rich and powerful global networks of injustice have been triggered. Please help heal and guide us. Our vision is of planetary peace. May we as individuals and as a church community become protectors of the least of these as Jesus taught. Amen

Pleases follow the journalist Carol Cadwalladr who has been telling us this story for several decades and challenges us to face the complex issues for us as a human family. She reports. "Tech platforms derive a significant portion of their profits from sexual interest in children, with porn representing a large percentage of internet searches making the pedophiliac element within society, facilitated by Silicon Valley companies. Porn represents 25% of all internet searches, and "teen" is the most searched term on Pornhub, illustrating the scale of the issue." The Nerve: An independent news outlet co-founded by Carol Cadwalladr with former Guardian journalists.

We celebrate and give thanks for the 30th anniversary of the brilliant news reporting from the daily TV show. Democracy Now! Thank you to Amy Goodman and everyone who works vigilantly to bring us internationally focused daily news on TV.

Semon and communion on the Sidewalk at ICE in Portland

I was invited to this event by a fellow clergy sister when we met on the sidewalk in front of the ICE Concentration Center. We are a part of a "Clergy Presence" program in Portland. I feel solidarity and closeness to everyone I have met there and particularly to the Christian ministers for I don't have an opportunity to meet many Christian ministries who are activists. It is a privilege to stand together both as citizens and as people of faith as we long for a Moral 'Revival in our communities, country and planet. Together we stand against the illegal and immoral kidnappings and trafficking of people in our country by masked lawless thugs violently putting innocent people and children into concentration camps. The horror of 170 billion dollars allocated by the US government for immigration enforcement, 70 billion allocated for ICE makes me hang my head in shame as an America citizen. The same billionaire good old boys club that allocated these funds are often the same men implicated in the Epstein Files. The moral depravity is stunning. I am an old minister with grey hair. The young woman with bright dyed pink hair is the organizer of this event on Saturday. She shared that she appreciated standing with old white-haired ministers like me. I shared that I appreciate standing with young beautiful, creative, artists and courageous activist and Christian ministers like her. Together we stood in solidarity on the sidewalk at the ICE concentration camp in Portland and talked about Jesus and the sermon on the mount.

"Sermon on the Sidewalk!" she said. "Wow!" I said, "That is brilliant, Sermon on the Sidewalk!" I have not been able to stop thinking about this turn of phrase for it is time to pray with our feet. She has invited Operation Inflation, who are the people dressed up in colorful whimsical animal costumes that have been attending some protests of ICE in Portland, to co-sponsor the event.

“The role of the artists is to make the revolution irresistible.”

A true and articulate statement shared by Toni Cade Bambara the African American activist and artist. Well voila, join us Saturday night for an" irresistible revolutionary" event.

The photo below is me in front of the ICE Concentration Camp in Portland with an inflatable unicorn at our Christmas Eve worship on the sidewalk a few weeks ago. We brought a Jewish friend who had never been to a church before. She said what surprised her most was how peaceful the worship service was. It was beautiful and moving for the Christmas story of the Holy family - a family of refugees fleeing sociopathic leaders of Empire had never felt so relevant as it was in front of the ICE Concentration Camp this last Christmas.

So here is my, offering for Saturday, Sermon on the Sidewalk Prayer for you. Please commit to this proufound teaching of Jesus - love your enemy. Please meditate and pray on this before you come to, "Breaking Bread to Break ICE." You don't have to like your enemy or condone their behavior, but you must make a decision not to become like them. How? You make a decision and ask for God's help to love them as Jesus and Martin Luther King taught. This teaching changed my life many years ago. Now, I believe that without adopting this teaching we may not survive as a human species. It is possible for we did it here in the USA during the civil rights movement under similarly horrifying conditions. If we did it then, we can do it now. It began in churches and was largely led with Christian faith leaders. So please consider making a decision to love the ICE gestapo while praying for their conversion. Remember, ICE agents are sacred children of God also and as people of faith we are called to pray for them and all our persecutors.

I ordered a gas mask in case ICE tear gases us this weekend. My new mask just arrived in my pink mailbox, in front of my pink house and our Manger Church where we have worship in the barn with the Peaceable Kingdom of Animals. If you want more information, please contact me. As my husband Walt, a combat vet of the Vietnam war tells me, in the military there are eight support people for every person in combat. If you can't come on Saturday but you want to support me to be there with my clergy collar and my Sermon on the Sidewalk Prayer, then please volunteer at our church, or send a donation and please, please, please pray for us. There are at least eight jobs that need to be done here at Church for Our Common Home to keep this ministry going. We need your help. Please call me, (858) 248-5123. You can be part of this movement!

Please pray with me,

Dear God, called by many names,

 “Blessed are you who walk forth on the sidewalk you who are poor, for the reign of God is yours.

Blessed are you who walk forth on the sidewalk, you who are hungry for you’ll be filled.

Blessed are you who, walk forth on the sidewalk you who weep now, for you’ll laugh again,

Blessed are you who walk forth on the sidewalk when people hate you, when they scorn and insult you and spurn your name as evil because you are a disciple of Jesus.

On the day you who do so, rejoice and be glad: your reward will be great in heaven, for your ancestors treated the prophets the same way.

Blessed are you who walk forth on the sidewalk, you who hear me, I say: love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. Amen

Invitation to Oregon organizing for immigrants, Liam and the least of these

The photo above is of Liam Conejo Ramos, a vulnerable 5 year old child who is now in a Texas concentration camp. The Columbia Heights Public Schools Superintendent Zena Stenvik in Minneapolis told reporters last Wednesday that officers told him to knock on the door to his home to see if other people were inside, “essentially using a 5-year-old as bait,” she said. Conejo means rabbit in Spanish. May this image of Liam and his blue bunny hat standing in the freezing cold make its way into your heart of compassion. In the name of human decency and for the sake of all God's children may we join in peaceful organization to offer the way of peace, love of immigrants and care for all children and the least of these.

Dear Friends of Church for Our Common Home,  

              This past week, I joined almost 200 clergy from every corner of Oregon— Rabbis and Reverends, Buddhists and Muslims, Monks and Ministers— to respond to escalating ICE activity and violence in the wake of the killing of Renee Nicole Good a mother of three and Alex Jeffrey Pretti an intensive care nurse in Minneapolis, over 30 recent deaths in detention centers and the shooting of two of our neighbors in Portland. 

Convened by Together Lab, we learned more about the lay of the land in Oregon, strategies to meet this moment, and sent messages of love and care to our siblings in Minnesota. While each of our congregational contexts are different, it’s clear that we must come together— neighbor to neighbor— to faithfully take action. 

Alongside clergy colleagues across the state, we’re expanding the circle and inviting our congregations, key leaders, and friends to join us on Thursday, February 12th from 6-7:15pm on zoom for a multifaith statewide convening for faith communities. I hope you can come.

Please register here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/BxsqeHLBSKu5kxxjEpSBFw

Together, we will: 

• Understand the increased ICE activity in Oregon, including where and how they’re operating

• Know where to plug into faithful organizing strategies across the state, including neighborhood-based, legislative, and upcoming mass mobilizations

• Take meaningful action while on the call to flex our collective muscles.

The call is being supported by Together Lab, PIRC (who run the statewide hotline you call when you suspect or see ICE), and statewide coalitions Oregon for All and Protect Oregon. 

Please join Church for Our Common Home in prayer for those who were murdered in Minnesota and especially the children like 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father taken to an ICE concentration camp in Texas. We stand in solidarity with the courageous leaders like Nekima Levy Armstrong, a civil rights attorney who has been arrested as well as dozens of clergy outside the airport. Our hearts are with all those living in fear. 

Church for Our Common Home invites you to join us in action and contemplation. Please contact me with questions and/or come visit our retreat center, Interfaith Secret Prayer Garden, biodynamic farm and counseling center or share this email and invite a friend.

Christmas worship for the week of 12/21-12/28

"There is a light that can overcome the darkness. There is no darkness that can overcome the light.” 12/24/25, at 2 pm you are invited to join us at the ICE Detention Center in Portland for a Christmas Eve worship service. Refugees and immigrant families in our country and around the world are in danger desperately trying to escape the similar horrors that Jospeh and Mary faced - unspeakable cruel leaders, family separations, kidnappings, imprisonments, violence, death...... But God's tender merciful love was born in the darkest time.

History repeats itself, yes? Never have we needed to experience the Holy Light of the Christmas story as much as this year during the Global Dark Night of the Soul. Please contact Rev. Bonnie for more info if you want to join us in Portland on Christmas Eve Day.

The day after Christmas 12/26, at 2 pm, you are also invited to the consecration of our new Tree Prayer Altar in honor of John Cobb in the Resurrection Rose Garden and Eco Burial Garden. We will honor our beloved companion, teacher, mentor and Light Being - Dr. John B. Cobb Jr. Join us in person or online the day after Christmas on the one-year anniversary of his passing. Here is the link. Church Google Meeting Link

(or please find the link on church website homepage)

We have also created another new Tree Altar in our Walking Pilgrimage and Living Rosary dedicated to Teresa of Avila. Her Spirit and John Cobb's "guide our feet" as pray and walk the circumference of this our prayer portal and Sanctuary Church - Church for Our Comon Home. This is the God we most need in our atheistic culture who,"...gives light to those who live in darkness and the shadow of death and who guides our feet into the way of peace." (Gospel of Luke 1:79) Both are "angels" or "messengers" of the miracle of the Christmas story this year.

Join two Light Beings from the other side of the veil - John Cobb and Teresa of Avila - and the communion of saints this Christmas season. They gift us with the most precious gift of all during the Global Dark Night of the Soul - the reminder and assurance that God's tender merciful love is always with us. You are also invited to join two Christmas worship services, one the Sunday before and another the Sunday after Christmas day, 12/21 and 12/28 4 pm PST online or in person with an Earth Crisis Support Group and potluck dinner immediately following

Teresa's Tree Altar is number 2 and 15 and John Cobb's is number 11 on the map below. More info and photos will follow.

Prayer and reflection are the doorway into the "Interior Castle" of our souls. This is also the dwelling place of our relationship with our own soul intertwined with God. Prayer and reflection invite an intimate sharing with the God who loves us. God, our beloved companion according to Teresa of Avila is our good friend we can count on. Teresa is the "train conductor" of our Advent Underground Railroad as we become a Sanctuary Church.

Let nothing disturb you, Let nothing frighten you, All things pass away: God never changes. Patience obtains all things. Whoever has God lacks nothing; God alone is enough. Teresa of Avila
