17 min - Turn Me Around - Rev. David SchwartzWe live in a society which operates as if white people are more important and more worthy than people of color. How will we honestly and seriously face a culture that looks like white supremacy -- and do it without being stuck in shame, fear, rage, minimization, blame, denial, or the ten thousand responses that keep the status quo where it is? This Sunday we're glad to welcome the Chicago Children's Choir as our musical guests and celebrate the 61st birthday, founded here intentionally to find a way to build relationship across lines of race and class.19 min
