Day to day happenings at the Prayer Vigil March 5, 2009
Rev. Jeff Brown, Unitarian Church of Mississauga led us in a noon time reflection that reminded us that we are part of a larger community despite our colour, religion, culture, or citizenship. That we are more alike, than unalike. This includes the poor and marginalized in Ontario.
He shared the words of Unitarian minister Theodore Parker, when in a 1853 sermon on "Justice and the Conscience," he declared: "I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways; I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience. And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice."
Jeff Brown also led us in prayers for our provincial politicians asking that they open to their hearts to justice and inclusivity.
