As part of our Faith & Film series, this sermon by Rev. Dr. Daniel Kanter centers on The Grapes of Wrath, a story of struggle, dignity, and endurance that still speaks to the soul of America today. Returning from a sabbatical journey that included a 1,700-mile solo bike ride in New Zealand, Rev. Kanter reflects on the state of the world, the power of nonviolent faith, and what it means to hold fast to our shared humanity.
Drawing wisdom from Steinbeck, Joy Harjo, Springsteen, and Unitarian theology, Rev. Kanter calls us to resist despair, renew our spirits, and help the next person find their way through the dark.
