Midweek Message
July 9, 2019

Research indicates that homelessness continues to be the greatest concern for the people of Oakland and Alameda County. I invite you to join me on Thursday to learn more about the ongoing responses to one of the most pressing humanitarian crises of our time.
My sermon this Sunday will be “Theology: Window or Hammer.” Using Psalm 82 as a starting point I will argue that our theology, our understanding of God, is always subject to revision and improvement. As such, while taking our beliefs seriously, we also need to hold them lightly. As Rachel Held Evans taught us, we let go of certainty and hold on to faith.
