                                                                                                                                              “Theology” simply means words about God, and at MoTA, we believe that we are all theologians. We encourage everyone in the community to take their own experience and reason seriously in addition to church tradition and Holy Scripture. Our worship, study, service, and social activism are woven so as to “hear one another into speech” about what in our lives is most central, beautiful, and passionately awake. Getting to the center of our lives enables us to see most clearly God’s movement in us, though Christ and Spirit, and impels us to act for the sake of justice and wholeness for all, including our earth.

                                                                                                                                              Theology is something we do for each other and with each other at Mota as we share our love of God and seek to live the presence of Christ in daily life.
