From his home in Norwell, Massachusetts, Sandy Sandberg reflected on his recent three-year post as First Reader at The Mother Church in Boston. He spoke with great tenderness about the Wednesday testimony meetings, where he saw a sense of caring for one another in such a way that those gathered could stand and share things that were “deeply intimate.”
Something happens in that kind of atmosphere, he adds, “that enables us to transcend how the human mind tends to form opinions—and then judge.
“When there is that heightened sense of supporting one another, transformation takes place. And those who come to the testimony meeting can walk out the door saying, ‘If he or she can do it, so can I.’ ”
