  It’s Like This: The Value of Perspective - August 30, 2026

  Sep 11, 202649 minS3

  Barbara Gilday, Cedars Guest Speaker Gregory Cook, Worship Associate At various times in our lives, we find ourselves, personally or communally, hitting a wall or falling off a cliff. In some ways, life seems to throw catastrophic imperatives at us. Then we have choices, and perhaps those are our greatest teachers. The values we live by give us the guardrails to recovery – not only to survive, but often to thrive. The ability to recover is one of the strongest signs of healthy aging. Rev. Barbara Gilday came to professional ministry in mid-life, but her life has been full of inquiry, diversity, social justice, connecting and sharing with others: Teaching in Ghana, hosting Japanese Exchange Programs, developing peer tutoring programs, hosting a Ukrainian refugee, to name a few. Currently, she is exploring in new and deeper ways, how we continue to find joy in, and give value to life as our capacities change. Barbara is the grateful member of a loving, blended family.

  Depolarizing Ourselves The Braver Angels Way - August 9, 2026

  Aug 12, 202653 minS3

  Elizabeth Doll, Cedars Guest Speaker Nancy Philip, Worship Associate Braver Angels is the nation’s largest political depolarization non-profit, and we’re run mostly by volunteers all across the country. Transforming the political culture in the country for the better is a tall order, but one that’s achievable if we all do our part to love our neighbors and people we perceive as our enemies. Elizabeth Doll joined Braver Angels in March 2022 as the Director of Braver Politics after four years of volunteering with the organization and many years working in politics in the Pacific Northwest. She began political work as a teen, when, while interning on a Congressional campaign, she became passionate about improving her community through civic engagement. Since then, Elizabeth has consulted for and worked on many state and local campaigns. She and her husband live on Bainbridge Island and when not engaged in politics, she enjoys photography, hiking, and horseback riding.
