The Elderly, the Beautiful, and Children of God

Guest minister Rev. Kathleen Ellis' sermon delivered on July 15, 2012. As Bollywood brings glimpses of India into our consciousness, the overall impression is that India is complex on multiple levels. Beauty competes with squalor; spirituality competes with greed; generosity competes with corruption; elders, children and homeless people compete for scraps of welfare. Compare it all with the United States: We're not all that different, but issues become invisible for the most part unless we have some philosophical discussion about it.
