The Morality of the Wealth Gap in America

Rev. Robin Landerman Zucker, Affiliated Community Minister with the First Unitarian Church of Pittsburgh and Flowing Force, was guest speaker for the January 19th recent Sunday Service.  Rev. Zucker  spoke on the topic of the American Wealth Gap while exploring the effects of America’s increasing income/wealth gap, not only on our economy but our democracy.  She expressed the sense of decency we have to each other as we work and contribute each day.  The heart of her sermon was simple: What is a good society?  What role does the widening gap play in the deterioration of our nation’s economic, moral, and social health?  What is the responsibility in potentially addressing this gap?  Rev. Zucker is shown at the left, lighting the chalice flame.  Joining her are Pauline Simms, Worship Associate; Lori Rittle, pianist; and Patti Holmes, vocalist
