As we continue this worship series, "God's Politics," we're attempting to cut through the rhetoric to explore some of the issues at stake as we seek the heart of God. Today's message focuses on the issue of same-sex marriage, with two of our retired pastors, Rev. Sam Johnson and Rev. Charlotte Hendee sharing a dialogue. Until his retirement in 2011, Sam Johnson served as the Director of Contextual Education at Boston University School of Theology.

Sam is a graduate of DePauw University and Harvard Divinity School.Charlotte Hendee has recently retired to Maine after serving churches in the Baltimore/Washington Conference of the United Methodist Church. Prior to her ordination, Charlottee worked in the United States Senate and on Capitol Hill for the General Board of Church & Society of The United Methodist Church. She is a graduate of Drew University, UConn, and Wesley Theological Seminary. She served churches in Maryland Line, Brooklyn Heights, Galesville, Emory and Deer Park, Maryland.
