"She Persisted," by the Rev. Michael Schuler - July 2 2017

Sermon by the Rev. Michael Schuler at the First Unitarian Society of Madison, July 2nd, 2017. The title for these reflections is drawn from the explanation Majority Leader Mitch McConnell gave for shutting down Elizabeth Warren as she tried to quote from Coretta Scott King on the Senate floor. These two words have since become something of a rallying call among feminists, but as a personality trait persistence – or perseverance, if you like – has been the subject of a fair amount of commentary of late. Many see it as critical to getting what we want out of life.
