The message was delivered on Sunday, October 20, 2024, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. DESCRIPTION: This service explores the theme of unity in diversity and the role of religion in fostering love and healing in the world. Using the story of the Tower of Babel, Marlin illustrates how the focus of religion should be on creating a heaven-like experience on Earth. Instead of worrying about the afterlife, we are called to address the real "hells" of this world—poverty, injustice, and suffering—by being agents of love, compassion, and unity. The service emphasizes the need for religious communities to grow in soulfulness, love, and generosity, not just in their faith, but in their actions toward others.
