Description
In a 1976 sermon entitled, “America in Search of a Soul,” Howard Thurman creatively imagined God declaring, “I’ll set up somewhere a school and I’ll call that school America.” Knowledge, experience, and noble ideals were imparted to the children of the school, but eventually came a moment of reckoning as “the soul of America” sought “to realize itself in the life of America.” Thurman declared, “Now, school is out. School is out, and it’s been out for some time.” Thurman prophetically understood that the soul of America was threatened by “the Cult of Inequality.” Today, we face our own moment of reckoning as we confront the crises of societal inequality and climate change. The following panelists will help us unpack both the threats and the opportunities before us as people of faith:
-Rev. Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas, Canon Theologian at the Washington National Cathedral
-Rev. Cameron Trimble, Founder and CEO of Convergence
-Rev. Dr. Jim Antal, author of "Climate Church, Climate World"
