Listening and Learning: Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III

 We begin our summer worship series in which we listen and learn from Black preachers.  We start with Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III, pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.  With him we cry in lament for Ahmaud Arbery and so many other Black lives lost to the violence of white supremacy.  With him we reach back into the history, celebrating the ingenuity, genius and resilience of Black people in American from enslaved to this moment.  With him we are called from prayer into action on behalf of Black lives.
