Worship, Feb 28 11a: "Listening for God: The Power of Sanctuary"

During the 1980s, congregations, synagogues, and temples across America humanely responded en force to the influx of hundreds of thousands of refugees from the political dictatorships gripping several Central American lands: El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras. Their bold and costly witness was widely known as the Sanctuary Movement, or -- due to coordinated resistance from our federal government propping up these dictators -- the Sanctuary Underground. In faith terms: What can we learn about the power of sanctuary -- a safe place for all of God's children -- from this experience? What comforts and risks both do building sanctuary of any kind entail? Scriptures: Psalm 27, Luke 13:31-35. Join us !!!
