- The sermon was delivered on Sunday, April 23, 2017, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Bishop Carlton D. Pearson, Affiliate Minister.
SERMON DESCRIPTION:
An orthodox understanding of redemption is the act of buying one's freedom or having it paid for by someone else. It is mostly about compensation, which is to make up for something unwelcome or unpleasant by exerting an opposite effect. It usually involves some sense of guilt. Alan Cohn wrote, "A good definition of guilt is, "punishing yourself before God doesn't."' Anthony De Mello said, "When you are guilty, it is not your sins you hate but yourself." The only real redemption is the one that suggests you don't need it. Redemption transcends the illusion of lack, alienation, and isolation and recognizes that everything you need is contained in both who and what you are - that you exist and remain divine.

My Cousin Linda who’s now 83, told me the other day, “I’ve now lived long enough to get old and that’s ok because many of my classmates did NOT live long enough to get old!”…..that’s so true because I’m only 48 and I have lost 4 classmates in under 2 years.
Carlton... I am so glad you are back in my life. I have agreed with your belief of no hell for ages. Sometimes logically, sometimes fearfully but guess what? The holy father, pope Francis agrees with you. My daughter is buying this whole Satan thing about Catholics. I am not confused I am just pissed. All this about a religion. Anyhow you are my answer to my hopes as you are not some adjective Bible thumper... I have low tollarance for that rhetoric. But my own daughter saying that Catholics are Satan tic sort of hurts. I just don't t believe in the guy with the horns and tail. Sick people eating each other...too much for this mini mind thank you for all you say. You allow me the freedom to heal...
I normally don't comment but this message stirred my soul so, I had to let you know much this has blessed me. Thank you.
