JASON LYDON
"Another Easter Story: Resisting Collaboration with Empire"

In the Christian tradition, Good Friday often presents itself as an
anti-Jewish celebration blaming "the Jews" for the crucifixion of Jesus.
Verses from the Book of John are taken out of context and spewed like hatred
into religious services. We will re-read the Biblical story, challenge the
anti-Jewish language, and hold those who collaborate with empire accountable
for their choices.

Jason Lydon is our Congregational Director.
