God of all oppressed persons, remind us of your presence in voices of protest; shatter our self-complacent faith in liberty freely given; and remind us of the cost of hard-won freedom.

Pity the poor dandelion. It is, in many ways, nature’s perfect plant. With a tap root that grows more than a foot long, it can survive in climates of scorching heat and bitter cold. Its tender, young greens make a tasty addition to any salad, or they can be boiled like fiddleheads or as a tea...Sermon | By Peter Friedrichs | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Acceptance, America, Anti-Oppression, Anti-Oppression, Immigration, Immigration, RespectWorship element

Am I a guest here. Here in this House. Are you? Are we guests here. Here in this House. And, whose House do we inhabit?
