Sermon delivered on Sunday, December 9, 2012, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister.
SERMON DESCRIPTION
Our nation is currently engaged in the longest war of our
history. At the same time, it seems that for many Americans we
barely feel that our country is at war. Somehow the prolonged
conflict in Afghanistan has been made easy for the American public
to ignore. Over the past decade, some politicians have advocated
for a return of the draft so that this war effort would become more
visible to the American conscience, and the burden would be spread
more evenly throughout our population.
As a minister, I have had some meaningful opportunities during this
war to engage with soldiers both leaving for and returning from
Afghanistan. Their journey has much to teach the rest of us about
what is most important about life. As we continue to explore the
theme of peace, I will share how their sacrifices can enliven our
own sense of passion and purpose.
