Day Five - All people need a voice.

Today we light the chalice for - the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large. What does this mean? It is nice idea but who runs your congregation?  Is it one person or a small group that makes all the decisions? Are you being heard or do you really not want to do the work and thus let others take charge? 

Welcome to our new viewers from Argentina, Canada, Italy, Sweden and Switzerland!

Today on Chalica! (facebook page) Kat Morrell wrote, "Great new tradition. I love lighting a chalice before meals and meetings. If anyone is looking for little chalice for home or meeting use, I am a potter and make personal chalices and sell them on etsy  I'm working on making some larger chalices now. You can see my personal chalices on my website www.personalchalice.com" There are some very nice chalices there. ~)c

Thank you to Freya Vass-Rhee and her latest Chalica song:

I have a little chalice

I made it out of clay

And when I have made seven

I’ll light one every day

...Oh chalice chalice chalice

I made it out of clay

Oh chalice chalice chalice

I’ll light one every day

It has a lovely body

A flame so pure and bright

And in the week of Chalica

I’ll light one every night

Oh chalice chalice chalice

With flame so pure and bright

Oh chalice chalice chalice

I’ll light one every night

Our chalice stands for goodness

For love that’s ours to share

And seven days and seven ways

To bring light everywhere

Oh chalice chalice chalice

The love that’s ours to share

Oh chalice chalice chalice 

Let’s bring light everywhere
