This week's podcast features a sermon by Rev. Stephen Milton that draws on the wisdom of early African American theologian Howard Thurman. How can Jesus say that the poor will inherit the Kingdom of God, and that those who weep will laugh? Even more puzzling, why does Jesus predict the rich will become poor? Thurman's ideas help untangle the mystery, drawing on the African American experience. The podcast ends with a jazzy outro by our music director, Daniel Rubinoff.
