A Perfect Storm

speaker photoA Sermon from: May 27, 2007
By: Rev. Andrew C. Kennedy

In this sermon from Memorial Day weekend, I explore the evidence for the disturbing concern that a peculiarly American form of fascism may be on the rise in our country. A tragically trumped up war in Iraq, warrant-less wiretaps, secret CIA prisons, and officially sanctioned torture are only a few of the concerns. Along the way, we may also want to explore the provocative understanding of fundamentalism as religious fascism and fascism as political fundamentalism.

A Hidden Wholeness

A Sermon from: May 6, 2007
By: Rev. Andrew C. Kennedy

It is an old story, constantly needing to be told anew: that the “soul” deep within us knows what it needs to be whole. The answers so often lie within us. We do not need so much to be told or advised. Rather, we need to be reminded. We need to be reminded, and to discover and uncover for ourselves what our own truths are. As Parker Palmer says, “The soul is generous: it takes in the needs of the world. The soul is wise: it suffers without shutting down. The soul is hopeful: it engages the world in ways that keep opening our hearts.”
