Recon on Reconciliation | Rev. Dr. Daniel Kanter | 10.18.2026
In his sermon, “Recon on Reconciliation,” Rev. Dr. Daniel Kanter opens with the story of Jacob and Esau. This story from Genesis about compassion and vulnerability after betrayal reminds us that fear remains one of the most powerful and potentially damaging forces of human life. As spiritual people in a divided world, one of our biggest challenges is overcoming the temptation to demonize one another.
How do we overcome fear, seek repair, and see each other as sacred? Reconciliation in our world starts in our heart and extends outward, and we’re not going to get anywhere until we start.
