Reclaiming Patriotism

Sermon by Rich Gillock, AU-OC

Unitarian Universalist Church in Anaheim

511 S. Harbor Blvd.
Anaheim, CA 92805

“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.”
- Sinclair Lewis

America is 232 years old this year, and we face some of the most daunting crises of our existence. We are on the brink of a world wide financial collapse. Oil has peaked and we must learn to deal with shortages. Global warming is changing our environment.

Our Constitution is in crisis with most of our civil liberties eroded.  The balance of power between our branches of government is skewed to the executive.  This is not the America our founding fathers gave us.

Is America dying of old age or just neglect? Can she be revived or will she pass away like previous empires? What role do We the People have to play? What will you do to preserve America? The challenges are unprecedented, but nothing that 300 million people can’t handle if we work together.
