Resistance the Gandhi Way
Speaker:
The Reverend Drew Kennedy
A Sermon by the Rev. Drew Kennedy
with a story by Beryl Aschenberg
SUNDAY, JANUARY 8, 2012
Resistance is our monthly theme this month. A fascinating, inspiring line runs back from Egypt to Tunisia to Serbia to Martin Luther King, Jr. to Mahatma Gandhi. Did you know that King heard about Gandhi in a Unitarian Church when he was in graduate school in Boston? And that Gandhi once met with NYC Unitarian minister John Haynes Holmes? In this era of “Arab Spring” and “Occupy Wall Street,” what better time to review the non-violent genius of Mahatma Gandhi than now? As a Family Sunday, the children are invited to join us with their parents for the first portion of the service. Please make them welcome. — Drew
