Religious Education ProgramImpact of Lessons Learned by Glenn during his time at Cedar Lane:
“I recall very little of what I learned explicitly at Cedar Lane. But what I learned implicitly is seared in my heart. I was encouraged to reach out for the stars. I was taught that humans have agency; that our choices matter. I sang again and again that I had a little light in me and my job was to let it shine, shine, shine. Include the excluded. I knew that this congregation of adults and my parents care about me, want me to be happy and healthy and safe and successful. I grew up in a congregation where it was normative that strong religious leaders are women. By modeling adults, I learned that silence is okay; that not knowing is OK. I recall constantly being encouraged to question, figure things out for myself.
“If you had to live your life over and over again, exactly the same, for all eternity, would you choose it?” The Philosopher asks the Riddle of Eternal Return to truly discern if one is living a well-lived life. I (Glenn) would choose, again and again and again, growing up at Cedar Lane. It is and will forever be my religious home.
- The Rev. Glenn C. Farley
