Title:
Edwin C. Boulton - "To Petrify the Sacred or Sanctify the Secular" (January 15, 1989)
Description:

  • We have a tendency, as Christians, to want to contain and "petrify" the sacred. What we should be about, instead, is "sanctifying the secular." The way we do this is by loving ourselves and loving our neighbors. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 14:26. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 34:58.

  • Key quotation: “I cannot profess to love God until I love myself; I cannot profess to love God until I love you; I cannot profess to love God until I stop throwing stones of fear and derision at other people.”
