So Free We Can Love | June 29, 2025 | The Rev. Liz Costello

As Independence Day approaches, Mother Liz invites us to reflect on what true freedom really means—not just as Americans, but as Christians. In this sermon grounded in Galatians, she explores Paul’s vision of freedom, which isn’t about personal rights or autonomy, but about being so spiritually liberated that we are free to love others fully, generously, and without expectation. Drawing on stories from the early Church and highlighting the prophetic witness of leaders like the Rev. Pauli Murray, this message calls us to live not by the values of empire but by the Spirit that sets us free for love.
