Presents a virtual sermon:
“Sacred Imagination”

Eileen Morrison, Accompanist
TBA, Guest Musician

“I don’t just have a news problem. I have an imagination problem. The constant barrage of media and information takes up so much of my attention that it crowds out everything else, all possibility; the violence and endless isms and oppression and war and climate disaster, the constant and disturbingly flippant refrain in everyday conversation that “The world is on fire” – it is easy to get swept up, to be consumed by it all… and in these moments, I have come to understand that my attention has been overwhelmed, my imagination has been captured…”
