Sermon

Rev. Victoria Weinstein

Rev. Weinstein preaches on the Penn State coaching sex abuse scandal. What happens when we worship the wrong things? Why do we consistently protect institutions instead of individuals, and especially children? How do we move on as communities in a trusting yet accountable and responsible way in the aftermath of such shattering revelations? These are difficult ethical questions that we need to take time to explore together.
