Today, Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell's lesson "Living in Service; Walking in Humility" explores the virtues of humility and service as central to the spiritual teachings of both Buddha and Christ. Drawing from Thich Nhat Hanh's Living Buddha, Living Christ, it highlights how both spiritual leaders exemplified these qualities through their actions—whether Jesus washing his disciples' feet or the Buddha renouncing wealth for enlightenment. The lesson examines humility as a teachable openness and service as an expression of compassion. It provides inspiring examples from historical figures like Mother Teresa, Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and Fred Rogers, encouraging reflection on how to practice humility and service in everyday life.
