When is violence the moral option? Is love really a durable power?
In this episode of Everyday Liturgist, Marcus dives into a student's tough question on the morality of violence and the bigger themes around love and making a difference in the world. This conversation shaped the sermon he gave at St. Peter's Episcopal Church (which has been modified for this podcast) which explores the overwhelming presence of violence and cruelty in the world, the power of God's enduring love, the impact of living with compassion, and how God uses ordinary people to make a difference.
