"Health Matters" | Toward a Vision for Community and Economic Justice through Healthcare

My sermon on February 28, 2021. Theme: Health care for all is not only a human right, it's a metaphysical necessity. We’re all interconnected, you see? When one suffers, we all suffer. When one is healing we’re all being healed. That’s what it means that the whole world, the entire cosmos is the Body of Christ, and we are, individually members of it. A sermon based on Matthew 8.5-13.

About a year ago, on Sunday, March 1, 2020, just before all this change and challenge fell upon us, I explored the implications of Saint Paul’s vision for the way human beings can relate to one another. We were reading a section from his Letter to the Romans. From that ancient text I was explaining the Christian vision for the truth that we are deeply connected, physically and spiritually. . . .
