A New Vision of Faith

In this Sunday Gathering sermon, Emily Perry draws inspiration from Frederick Douglass’ powerful 1852 speech “What, to the Slave, is the Fourth of July?” to examine the gap between the high ideals of faith and the painful realities we see around us. Through stories of figures like Maximilian Kolbe, Martin Luther King Jr., and her own personal experiences, Emily explores how A Course in Miracles offers a new vision of faith—one that is not blind or hollow, but grounded in love, equality, and trust in each other’s holiness. You’ll learn:

Why the Course teaches that God has perfect faith in you How we misplace our faith—and how to redirect it toward healing What it means to place faith in others and call forth their true nature How faith can become a living force for compassion, courage, and transformation

If you’ve ever struggled with the concept of faith or wondered what it truly means on the spiritual path, this message is a call to embody the world we long to see.
