  • Revolutionary Love. featuring: The Set It Off Movement and Middle Church NYC

    Love does not take the easy route, it takes time and struggle, love is not divisive, love does not show off or put people down so it can be up, love is not unprincipled, love does not keep record of wrongs nor does it ever rejoice over injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices in truth and justice, the righting of wrongs and the lifting up from the bottom. Love surrounds and withstands all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

    The conversation features Rev. Erica Williams and Rev. Jacqui Lewis. It is  moderated by Ana Lara Lopez!
