Sunday Sermon given August 13, 2023 Prayer by Bill Licea-Kane, Worship Associate https://firstparish.info/ First Parish A liberal religious community, welcoming to all First gathered 1739 Offering For the months of June, July and August, half of the offering supports two recipients: The Mass Building Electrification Accelerator (http://www.electrifybuildings.org/) and Educate Girls Now (https://educategirlsnow.org/). The remaining half supports the life and work of this Parish. To donate using your smartphone, you may text “fpuu offering” to 73256. Then follow the directions in the texts you receive. About the Sermon: How do we respond, spiritually and politically, to the big wrongs of the world? In recent years, people have become more likely to speak/think in terms of abolition, especially but not only on the political left. What can we learn from the movement to abolish slavery about the strengths and pitfalls of abolition as a metaphor, a practical strategy, and a spiritual stance? Lori Kenschaft has been a First Parish member since 2006. She has a doctorate in American history and deep interests in global history, social justice, and climate change. Her primary activity nowadays is volunteering with Electrify Arlington and helping people move their homes off fossil fuels.
