Rev. Meg Barnhouse's sermon delivered on February 10, 2019. Wynton Marsalis, in his book "To A Young Jazz Musician: Letters From The Road", talks about the philosophy of the Blues, how it both expressed and healed the lives of black people as they lived in a society which was structured to marginalize them. How do we learn from the Blues to express suffering, to face it, and to build and celebrate resilience?
