MIDWEEK March 23: Cat Green | It Didn't End at Patmos

​“Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your readings have been to you like the blast of a trumpet.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sometimes, sacred texts can seem like something imposed from above, especially when there are rigid rules about what is "divinely inspired." But if the point of a sacred text is to provide us with spiritual insight and inspire us to be better, then there is no fixed canon that works for everyone. In this practice, we'll reflect on what works are sacred to us, and practice compiling them into a personal canon.
