Join The Resistance by Lou Snead & Chuck Collins

In our Social Justice Sunday service on June 28, Chuck Collins and Lou Snead will invite our congregation to consider the many ways we can resist feeling powerless to stand up against the forces of political authoritarianism, religious self-righteousness, and racial superiority that seem to be dominating our nation’s political landscape today.  

In the spirit of the resistance expressed in the hippie and black power movements of the 1960s and 1970s our congregation is encouraged to wear protest buttons, counter-cultural clothing, and any other symbolic or historical examples of resisting the forces of hatred, war-mongering, and injustice that we are living under in this age proclaiming America’s greatness.

 As political cartoonists often help us to see, humor can be an effective way to recognize the contradictions we are living under and serve as expressions of resistance to the destructive forces that threaten our commitment to love and justice.
