When the Andrews Sisters sang, Don’t Fence Me In, they gave voice to the desire to be unconstrained, to be free to be ourselves. But that freedom to be ourselves requires that we also love others as themselves, and that can be so hard when we’re changing, transforming people all the time. How do our relationships, romantic and otherwise, ask of us to make space for our changing selves and the changes in others? How do we hold our commitments with love and recognition of the blessing that transformation can sometimes bring, and the pain that can come alongside. Larry Brennan and Rev. Christopher reflect on how we respond to changes in relationships, while Music Director Scott Farrell offers special music from the Andrews Sisters and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
