Sunday Morning Worship: From the Crush of Wealth and Power

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

Income inequality is a fact of life — the consistent presence of the poor is mentioned in Leviticus, which dates to the 7th Century BCE. Yet in every age there have arisen prophets who call societies to build a more equitable economic system. In the 20th Century the Unitarian Universalist Whitney Young was the “money guy” in the Big Six leadership pantheon of the Civil Rights movement, and he advised presidents Kennedy through Nixon. Rev. Lisa will lift up the story of this great leader as a frame for addressing justice and equity today.

Join us Sunday morning for our February worship series: "Justice and Equity." Worship begins at 10 a.m. in person and on Zoom.
