There is a new documentary on Episcopal priest, justice advocate, lawyer, poet and powerful Christian witness Pauli Murray. If you are a subscriber to Amazon Prime, you can watch this documentary for free. (If you are not a subscriber and would like to watch this documentary, please reach out to me directly.)
I invite you to watch this documentary not only because of the extraordinary life and witness of Pauli Murray. I invite you to watch it and to wonder about your own sense of call. Where and when have you felt God placing a call on your life - a call that is not necessarily recognized as a call from God either by you or those around you or indeed the time and place in which you live? Who has been an icon for you in your Christian walk? How have you recognized those icons?
Liberating God, we thank you for the steadfast courage of your servant Pauli Murray, who fought long and well: Unshackle us from bonds of prejudice and fear so that we show forth your reconciling love and true freedom, which you revealed through your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
