    'THE PHENOMENON OF UNITY' - A sermon by Carlton D. Pearson (Contemporary Service)

    'THE PHENOMENON OF UNITY' - A sermon by Carlton D. Pearson (Contemporary Service)
    The sermon was delivered on Sunday, October 28, 2018, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Carlton D. Pearson, Affiliate Minister. DESCRIPTION The United States is less united today than we’ve been experientially in decades, if not centuries. And we hurt and are even angry because we miss being united, being one. However, we're not a melting pot, we're a stew, with each part of us maintaining its individuality while intentionally harmonizing and celebrating our differences and valuing the strength of our emotional, racial and political diversity—intentionally, syncopating and synchronizing our collective drumbeats.
