In Search of Sacred Ground

Type of Event: Worship Service: Family (may include music)

Date Recorded: October 19, 2025

Location: Bryn Athyn Cathedral

For all the technological, material advances we’ve made as a society in the last 20 years or so, people report feeling lonelier and unhappier than ever before. The ground has shifted so much, people don’t know what’s real (sacred) anymore. The two great liberators of Israel, Moses and Joshua, couldn’t hear (or understand) the Lord’s message to them until it was pointed out that they were standing on sacred ground and that they needed to first remove their shoes.
