Br. Zachary Stevens-Walter
August 11, 2024
In this sermon, delivered at the Community Church of New York on August 11, 2024, Brother Zachary Stevens-Walter discusses the importance of finding, or making, space in one's life for dreaming - in many senses of the word.

But when, even in the imaginary future—a space where the mind can stretch beyond the Milky Way to envision routine space travel, cuddly space animals, talking apes, and time machines—people can’t fathom a person of non-Euro descent a hundred years into the future, a cosmic foot has to be put down.”
