Sunday Morning Worship: Make the Wounded Whole

  • Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church 809 Oak Ridge Turnpike Oak Ridge, TN, 37830 United States (map)

This Sunday, join us in person or on Zoom at 10 a.m. for morning worship. The theme is, "Make the Wounded Whole." Seminarian Roddy Biggs will be preaching.

We often hear the wounded narrative painting over the painful reality hidden in the shadows we dare not look. How are we to heal as a nation and Make the Wounded Whole if we are always running from a dark and shameful past? Can we Make the Wounded Whole? In the words of bell hooks, "How do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet, at the same time, remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?" As we "Do Justice" and Love Mercy" -Micah 6:8: Join us Sunday, online or in-person, as roddy bell-shelton biggs, a Queer, bipoc, Nonbinary seminarian, and aspiring Public Theologian, challenges us, invokes us, and leaves us with a powerful call to be a transformed accountable faith.
