A Joyful Alternative
Watch Amy’s video message about today’s events.
In the movie Bull Durham, the catcher Crash Davis advises his fastball-pitching protege: “Strikeouts are fascist. Throw some ground balls. It’s more democratic.” Even back then (1988), the term “fascism” was overused, hurled at anyone who was overly controlling–and not usually with the tongue-in-cheek humor of this movie. But as over- and misused as the term is, fascism is real and operating in our country today. So what is a lover of freedom to do? This morning’s service is a hope- and joy-filled guide to recognizing fascism when we see it, and sending it scuttling back into the dank pits of history from which it emerged. Come sing and rejoice!
