SERMON DESCRIPTION Conflict is a form of friction. In psychology, conflict is defined as a condition in which a person experiences a clash of opposing wishes or needs. To feel incompatible or at variance; to clash. Friction, on a personal and human level, is conflict or animosity caused by a clash of wills, temperaments, or opinions. Newton's third law suggests that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Walking and working through this reality must be deliberate and intentional rather than combative. The key is finding the emotional lubricant that makes conflict bearable and even productive.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, July 17, 2016, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Barbara Prose, Executive Director of Ministry. SERMON DESCRIPTION This has been one of the toughest weeks of my life. The tragic killing of two men at the hands of police and then the tragic killing of five police officers, all in one week, in one nation, is too much. "The sounds of bullets, the pictures of death and violence, we're seeing it too much. Rather than love and humanity, we're seeing death and inhumanity. This is violence and death gone wild," says the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber. I hope to see you in church this Sunday, so together we can explore the human roots of conflict and violence, as we reclaim our own humanity, share some tips on how to deal with conflict in our daily lives, and ready ourselves for the long walk toward a more just and peaceful world.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, July 10, 2016, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Gerald Davis, Affiliate Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION Author and professor Cornell West often reminds us that justice is just love in public. I believe love in public, unfortunately, requires struggle – from Seneca Falls to Selma and Stonewall. To reference President Obama, we have witnessed how struggle can lead to justice. Conflict, therefore, is not always a bad thing. Come ride with me on this freedom train onto the battlefield.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, July 3, 2016, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION Jihad has become a scary word in the west among non-Muslims. It's been used to refer to holy wars and insurgencies. Yet, the word 'Jihad' is one of the sacred pillars of #Islam. We are told Islam is a religion of peace. It's probably time more of us understand what this word and concept truly mean.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, June 26, 2016, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Louie Rojas, Guest Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION What's the worst thing you've done? What's the best thing you've done? How did courage impact the choices you made? Summoning insane courage to do the right thing and make the right choice requires fortitude, which can be learned. I will share my "Jonah story" and talk about ways to be valiente and courageous.

SERMON DESCRIPTION What the world needs now is love, sweet love, It's the only thing that there's just too little of – Burt Bacharach That song was first recorded in 1965 and gained popularity all over the world. Love is important. We think about it, talk about it, sing about it. But, what does "love" look like? What is the "love" that the world needs now?

The message was delivered on Sunday, June 19, 2016, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. MESSAGE DESCRIPTION The mass shooting in Orlando on Sunday has given way to two visions of America. Many of us have heard what the pundits and politicians are saying. We are seeing how the ties that bind a nation of people from all nations can be shredded. The question before people of goodwill is "What does love call us to do?" This question cannot be divorced from "What does common sense call us to do?" or "How do we deal with real threats to our safety and security?" Like a parent's love, the love that binds us, is also a love that fiercely protects us. In this culture of soundbites and slogans, it is time for thoughtful people to look with a deeper lens at the problems before us and to discern the love and loyalties that are most likely to save us. I look forward to contributing to the dialogue and to "putting my thumb on the scale" on behalf of the only America that makes any moral, practical and meaningful sense to me.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, June 12, 2016, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Barbara Prose, Executive Director of Ministry. SERMON DESCRIPTION New York Times journalist, Wesley Morris called him, "the most important political-cultural figure to survive the deadly tumult of the 1960s and flourish in the 1970s." Muhammed Ali's beliefs transfixed and polarized our country thirty years before the Black Lives Matter movement. Ali is the personification of courage. Words like radical, truth, fame and, risk describe the complicated and contradictory man who turned boxing into a referendum on the state of the country. Born Cassius Clay during the Jim Crow era in Louisville, Kentucky, he learned to box after his red Schwinn bicycle was stolen at the age of twelve. At 22, Ali won his first heavyweight title. Join us this Sunday as we explore what his life has to tell and teach us about courage today.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, June 5, 2016, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Bishop Carlton D. Pearson, Affiliate Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION It seems that grace appears or is needed at the worst times in our lives. To amaze is defined as "causing great surprise or wonder". That could be anything from a child being born to September 11th and the trade center towers crumbling to the ground. Is it the grace or the events that necessitate its appearance or presence in our lives that amazes us most? Perhaps it's both; lost and found, blind now seeing. Being lost and blind is almost as amazing as being found and later seeing. Both tend to be other than ordinary. Guess it's all relative.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, June 5, 2016, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Barbara Prose, Executive Director of Ministry. SERMON DESCRIPTION In the Wizard of Oz, the lion's, the scarecrow's, and the tin man's natural or God-given gifts are the parts of their personality they can't see themselves. Dorothy and her three friends must take a long journey to discover what was right in front of their eyes all the time. What if your innate gifts are invisible to you? What road must you walk to discover them and what friends will you need to help you live into them? I hope you'll join me as we begin our Summer of Living Dangerously, including the themes of Courage (June), Conflict (July), and Commitment (August). The world can't wait for us to discover our brains, our hearts and our courage. The time to start the journey is now as we celebrate our own high school graduations and all our members who are ready for the next level of exploration and expression in their own lives.
