This Sunday’s sermon honors the day that the United Nations General Assembly adopted, in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which is observed every year on the 10th of December. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a milestone document, and is the most translated document in the world today. As we endure these current times of tumult, and arguably the worst assault on human dignity in recent history, we will reaffirm our belief in and our commitment to the fact that we are “All Human, All Equal.”
“Love is not concerned with whom you pray,
“Or where you slept, the night you ran away from home.
“Love is concerned, that the beating of your heart, should kill no one.”
Alice Walker
