Power of Perspective
with Rev. Dr. Nancy Jay Crumbine
 
A financial expert and friend of mine recently said to me: Greed always wins, Nancy, greed always wins. When I look at history as written by the victors, history as it was taught to me and as it is recorded in mainstream media to this day, indeed it seems that he is right. Greed always wins. But when I read historians like Howard Zinn or Adam Hochschild, a spirit, a soul emerges in the human story from which I find I can take direction. While neither of these authors appear to be religious or spiritual in any way, their stories feed my spirit and give me hope

Our Affirmation:
Love is the doctrine of this church
The quest for truth is its sacrament
And service is its prayer
To dwell together in peace
To seek knowledge in freedom
To serve the needs of all beings
To the end that all souls shall
Grow into harmony with the Divine
Thus do we covenant with each other
And with the source of our being
