Declaring Independence from Toxic Patriarchalism

“To affirm the revolution we mark on this Independence Day weekend is to declare our own Independence from Toxic Patriarchalism and to raise our voices as people of faith -- offering a rebuttal to those who have hijacked the Good News of God's inclusive love proclaimed by the radical rabbi from Nazareth and turned a Christian Nationalist weapon of mass discrimination deployed against anyone who looks, believes, loves, identifies or votes differently than they do.” Sermon by Susan Russell from worship at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, July 3, 2022 at All Saints Church, Pasadena. Readings: Langston Hughes, Psalm 145:1-9, Abraham Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address and Matthew 5:43-48. Watch the sermon on YouTube. Read the text of the sermon here.
