This Sunday we welcome Dr. Robert Stevenson, Asst. Instructional Professor of African American Studies at the University of Florida, to our podium. Isaiah 61: 1-9 and Luke 4:18 both emphasize liberation and restoration: bringing good news to the poor, binding up the brokenhearted, setting the oppressed free, and proclaiming freedom for captives.

These passages closely align with our Unitarian Universalist commitment to social justice. Dr Stevenson will reflect on how these passages continue to speak to the urgent needs and moral responsibilities of our time.
