Being Open to Transformation Sermons from Ankeny UCC

We like to think that the world around us changes based on who we think is helped by the reality we choose to inhabit. War, violence against bodies, and acts beyond interpretation show us that this is vanity and that we must accept that, behind our interpretations of the world around us sometimes live things that we cannot explain away. Russia's invasion of Ukraine is an invitation to us to reconcile ourselves to the world as it is.
