Children No More: Going Forward Together with our Hearts Broken Open
Sermon for November 10, 2014
Post Election
Mark 12:35-44
The Rt. Rev. Dr. Bonnie A. Perry
“Unity does not mean uniformity. Unity does not mean there are no different opinions. Unity does not mean we are free from conflict. Unity does not mean we tolerate, intolerance. Unity does not mean we tolerate the idea that any one of us is second class, or less than. Unity means that we will always respect and defend body and soul, the dignity of every human being; be they of a political persuasion so far from our own, an undocumented worker or an individual whose gender is as fluid as the day is long.
Unity means we are united in the inconvenient truth of Jesus of Nazareth, that in Him we are not only stuck with each other, but we are called, invited and challenged to love each other.”
