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 continues his series of occasionally reworking and delivering one of Dietrich’s historic sermons. In this particular sermon, Dietrich emphasizes the moral necessity of taking a side on controversial questions. Today, as in 1918 when his sermon was first delivered, many of the theological and philosophical choices he asked are still ours to decide.
