"And so how do we reconcile, sometimes, these ideals that we have in light of what we see as not living up to those ideals?" This year's Fourth of July brings a mixed bag of emotions, and Associate Minister Diane Robertson wrestles with the central questions around our sense of national identity. Diving deep into the meaning of patriotism and its shadow, nationalism, she finds many paradoxes, which can't be ignored or glossed over any more. The talk begins at 13:22. Worship arts comes from Jimmie Herrod, including a brand new original, as well as a beautiful treatment of classic patriotic hymnody. Go here for the full service video.
