"Shelter From, For, Of, and In God"
Rev. Jake Bohstedt Morrill, preaching
Homelessness in Oak Ridge is a symptom of suffering: the suffering of those who need homes and the suffering of those who have housing who forget those who don't. Our consideration of social sickness is an invitation to theological reflection. How can we keep our hearts open? How can we allow our hearts to expand to encompass the fullness of Universalism itself? Today, as we hear stories of our Universalist forebears, John Murray and Clara Barton, we'll ponder how our lives might live up to the challenge of a love wide enough to provide everyone shelter.
