The Thaw

Pastor Keola Whittaker

In 1977, Archbishop Óscar Romero was a cautious conservative who avoided conflict. Three weeks after his appointment, his friend was killed and everything changed.

His story invites us to ask:  In a society of hardened positions, how do we make space for transformation?  What kind of community can we build that welcomes those who are ready to change?

This is a sermon about the slow, sacred work of thawing, both in the world and in ourselves.
