Kyle Belmont preaching, with Rev. Sophia Lyons, Charlyn Bethell, Jean Gauthier, and Guy Urban.
What is the relationship between compassion and justice? With the words of Rev. Howard Thurman as a guiding voice, and observations from daily life, we will explore this question as displayed through our public and private lives of faith.
Reading: An excerpt from The Creative Encounter by Rev. Howard Thurman
As a person each of us lives a private life; there is a world within where for us the great issues of our lives are determined. It is here that at long last the “yea” and “nay” of our living is defined, declared. It is private. It is cut off from immediate involvement in what surrounds us. It is my world. This does not suggest, nor is it meant to suggest, that it is merely the creation of my own mind, thought, and imagination. True, I am a child not only of nature, of parents, but also I am a child of my nation, which in turn makes me a child of my civilization and the culture whose roots finally mingle with other cultures and civilizations long since passed into history. But there remains a private, personal world which I claim as uniquely my own.
