Video Sermon: Changing the World, Changing Me
Changing the world vs/and changing ourselves. Today we consider the remarkable life of Eleanor Roosevelt who was first lady during the New Deal, WWII, and was our first ambassador to the United Nations. She fought against anti-Semitism, the Japanese internment, Jim Crow laws, and insisted on the creating of a multi-racial American democracy. She did not, however, fully come out of the closet or publicly acknowledge her long-term love relationship with the journalist, Lorena Hickok. We are grateful for the social justice she did advocate for and we remember with real sorrow that she never felt safe to fully be who she was.
