“God Bless America” Carl Camenisch
As we are now commemorating the USA’s 250 birthday, flag waving, parades, and patriotic songs are part of our celebration. Carl will reflect on the history of those anthems and the reference to the divine. What could be a UU viewpoint? Do thes songs justify Christian Nationalism? The program will include video recordings of choral performances to which we could sing along. And conclude with a relatively new song of liberation that Carl picked up from his visit to the GA in Louisville KY.
