Heart of Forgiveness Description: Gandhi said, Forgiveness is not for the weak. Kim Fhuc says, if the girl in the photo can forgive, everyone can. She’s speaking of the girl in the picture from 1971, who is running naked and burned through the streets in Vietnam. Kim should know. She is that girl. Matthew 18:21-35

Sunday sermon entitled Viral Empathy Preaching: Rev. Alexa Gilmour In times of great stress empathy can give way to fear and anxiety. Some would criminalize the poor but Christ calls us into deeper understanding of the systemic oppression that leaves the most marginalized among us reaping the suffering of our societal sins.

"It is easy to point the metaphorical finger of judgement at that addict, the poor, the homeless, even as we fail to see the systemic injustices that cause some to suffer a dipropionate reaping of what our society has sown. Now is the time to let our anger for what we see transform our hearts into people of justice who will walk with, not stand against, those who are marginalized." - an except from the draft speech Rev. Alexa will be delivering at tomorrow's press conference in support of our homeless siblings and the need for transcending the fears that led us to dehumanize one another in high stakes situations.
