Our church has a grace for potlucks and such. It says, “May we have eyes that see, hearts that love, and hands that are ready to serve.”

Sermon: “Answering the Call of Love” by Rev. Jason Cook
“If you’ve looked ahead on your order service you know we’re going to be singing the song “Standing on the Side of Love” today, only we are going to be singing it as “answering the call of love” instead. The composer, Jason Shelton, has asked us to sing it that way from now on. The question is why?
In a word: ableism.”
Is the beginning of Rev Jason Cook’s Sermon delivered at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Fullerton, CA on November 13, 2016. I hope you find it insightful.
Namaste,
