DESCRIPTION:Among Aesop's fables is one where children are squabbling and a
  wisdom figure uses a bundle of sticks to show them the power of working t
 ogether.  A modern re-telling uses matches to tell the same story: one is
  easy to break\, but a bundle is much stronger!\nMuch of what we're told a
 bout human nature is rooted in the individual.  But we are social creatur
 es by nature\, as well.  We rely on one another.  \nNaming human nature 
 as individual (as is often done) exalts the value of individual freedom. 
  Naming human nature also as social -- or interdependent -- exalts other 
 values like responsibility and accountability.  And the kind of joys that
  can only be found in community.\nThis morning's message will be offered b
 y Rev. Jason and Hashim Benford\, whose background in community organizing
  informs a deeply rooted approach to human nature.  \nLet's find our feet
  again this morning on the rock of universal love!\n---------\nWorship Lea
