Hope - November 13, 2016
Our tradition tells us that we are rooted in Deep Love, which some call God. When we live out of that Deep Love, we walk in the ways of justice, peace, and mercy; when we fail to live out of that Love, fear, division, and violence prevail.
This election does indicate that many among us are afraid – afraid of not having enough, afraid of change and loss. And while the election results call us to stand with all who may be in danger going forward, they also call us to try to understand the fears of those who couldn’t see any out but to vote for someone who was going to disrupt the system. For hating and fearing isn’t going to help any of us. We must even more firmly root ourselves in that Deep Love, acting out of it to care for ourselves and our world. We must not lose hold of our vision of the Beloved Community which embraces all people. Read the whole sermon here:
