If we don't save Democracy, who will?

Bill Moyers delivered a transformative speech to the the United Church of Christ's bi-annual General Synod in Hartford yesterday. Moyer's talk provides moving examples of the current threats to American democracy and of outlandish economic and social injustice. And his talk calls th church to action, for "it is a small, committed, determined people of conscience that can turn this country around," he says. "Poverty and injustice are religious issues and Jesus moves among the disinherited." It is time, he says, to "drive the money changers out of the temples of Democracy." Listen to it via the UCC's video archive.
