In this sermon from our Faith & Film series, Rev. T. J. FitzGerald reflects on the themes of justice, compassion, identity, and resistance through the surprising lens of the beloved film Babe. Drawing connections from ancient Hebrew texts, Li-Young Lee’s tender poetry, and today’s urgent political realities, we are invited to ask ourselves: Who are we? And who are we called to become in the face of authoritarianism, dehumanization, and exclusion?
From the metaphor of the shepherd in scripture to the courage of a pig who dares to break the mold, this sermon challenges us to reject unjust systems, embrace our sacred worth, and reclaim love as a radical, guiding force.
