Today, Rev. Nancy brought us a message for Independence Day weekend, when we celebrate America as a land of liberty and justice. Nancy asked which comes first, the liberty or the justice, and concluded that they are always intertwined. To truly follow them in their conjoined spiral dance, we must look beyond liberty and justice as our own prides and privileges and look to bring the whole world into their circle.
