thegreatstory | Ecology as Theology: Decline as Grace (Michael Dowd sermon 2020) @thegreatstory | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
This is Rev. Michael Dowd's first sermon during the covid lockdowns. He presented it in video format in advance, for use at the Sunday Service 16 April 2020 of the First Unitarian Church of Dallas, Texas.
His points are presented in a series of 3 topical categories:
Understanding, Remembering, and Inspiring.
This video was posted posthumously by his wife, Connie Barlow, when she discovered it in his dropbox folder in 2024 (for downloading by the church). Connie did the video editing before Michael put it in his dropbox, but for some reason she forgot to post it on this youtube channel. Rediscovering it 4 years later, Connie thought it was one of his best — and loved the fact it was under 12 minutes. It also demonstrates how disconcerting the lockdowns were, and thus how easy it was for Michael to normalize the idea of societal decline.
