Reading notes

I’m just now reading PastorDan’s sermon from YearlyKos in Las Vegas earlier this month. Yes:

Progressive faith shares with progressive politics, secular or not, the conviction that a shared life, lived with compassion, justice, moderation, responsibility, and tolerance is more than just a good life. It is the good life. …

The core of our work, whether religious or secular, whether Atheist, Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Pagan, Unitarian …Universalist, or really not much of anything, is not the same world reversed, with ourselves on top and our opponents cast down. It is a world transformed. …

I encourage reading the whole thing. This is so how I would preach if I could preach. As my Quaker friends say, I say of Pastor Dan, “Friend speaks for me.”
