Goals Worth NOT Fighting For

Rev. Rick Hoyt-McDaniels, preaching

Behind the Hanukkah story of miracles and lights is a story of religious oppression and a group of believers waging a war to win the right to practice their faith according to their conscience. But when “war” itself contradicts something important in the faith then can war-ing ever be acceptable? Can violating our values in the short-term be part of a strategy to achieve our long-term goals?
