Watch the service HERE. The Sermon on the Mount, found in the Gospel of Matthew, is perhaps the most widely known and quoted passage attributed to Jesus, a radical Rabbi in his time. As Unitarian Universalists who honor the humanitarian Jesus as a wisdom teacher, the Sermon on the Mount can offer us a universal perspective on justice and compassion. In this season focused on his birth, what would Jesus make of the state of the religion founded in his name and especially, the characterizing by Evangelicals of his famed sermon as “woke,” “liberal talking points,” and “too weak?” As one astonished pundit asked: “What would Jesus tweet?” Rev. Robin Landerman Zucker preaching, with Worship Leader Jean Weigant. Music from Mary Reese, and a Special Child Dedication ceremony.
