Dear Friend

“I truly believe … God dreams for us to be a community that is unflinching in our quest for justice. A community that refuses to remain silent in the midst of horrendous evil, knowing that “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil… Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” A community that is as determined as ever not “to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice,” but “to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.” A community that is as determined as ever to speak the truth to the powers that are oppressing and killing the people of God here and around the world in the same way that Gandhi spoke that truth to Hitler.And … a community that always begins those entreaties with the words  “Dear friend.”” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, January 28, 2024 at All Saints Church, Pasadena.
