Rev. John H. Deitrich, our Spokane congregation’s minister from 1911 to 1916, went on to become known as the Father of Religious Humanism. In his wish to reawaken us to this seminal figure’s relevance today, Rev. Eklof will continue his series of occasionally reworking and delivering one of Dietrich’s historic sermons. In this particular sermon, given in 1921, Dietrich considers if morality must necessarily be tied to religion, although many consider religion the source of morality. He ends up turning the table by concluding that morality ought to be the source of religion.
