Pastor's Corner        Rev. Brittany Whyte

If you feel like something’s “off” about the world these days, you’re not alone.Some are quick to blame technological advances for cultural shifts. Although technology makes it easier to communicate with others than it has ever been, we still find ourselves disconnected and disengaged from our neighbors. Algorithms decide for us what posts we will see from our friends on social media. They learn what sort of content we will engage with the most, then show us as much of it as possible to keep us busy scrolling, with targeted ads interspersed throughout to monetize every interaction. AI-generated images and videos are beginning to replace those made by real human beings, and in some cases, people can’t tell the difference. We are increasingly divided along ideological lines, stuck in virtual silos with people who think like us. Neighbors have no desire to know one another. Social situations can feel like minefields. Unplugged life feels fake, and virtual spaces feel too real. Doesn’t it feel like something is off?

​

In times when everything feels unsettling, it is important to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Many of us remember the days when people relied on radio to hear newly released songs or up-to-the-minute news.

​When you turn the dial on a radio, there is bound to be some static noise in the background while you’re finding the station you want to listen to, but when you point the antenna upward, the static fades, and the music comes in clearly. This anachronistic analogy can be used to describe how we tune in to find where God is working. No matter what happens in the world, the Good News is still there. The Holy Spirit is still at work. So, keep your antenna up and see how God is present in your life.

Pastor's Corner      Rev. Qadry Harris

 

On Friday, March 20th, I had the privilege of attending an Eid al-Fitr celebration at Klein Hall Gymnasium on Harcum’s campus. What began as part of my work as St. Luke’s college outreach pastor became something far more personal—a moment of healing I did not expect.

 

My father’s oldest living brother embraced Islam in his twenties, a decision that created deep distance between him and our conservative Christian family. By the time I came along, he had built a life and family of his own, including two daughters close to my age. Some of my earliest memories include family gatherings that felt full, yet somehow incomplete. There were always missing faces, missing stories—missing love.

 

Since coming to Philadelphia, reconnecting with that side of my family has become one of the most meaningful parts of my spiritual journey. Standing there, praying alongside my cousins—now parents themselves—I felt a quiet but powerful sense that God was restoring something that had been broken for decades. It felt like grace. It felt like time being given back.

 

Families can be places of deep tension, but they are also meant to be our first witness to love. As we approach Holy Week, I am reminded that before the church, before the world, it is within our families that God’s infinite love is meant to be made known—and, when possible, made whole again.
