It did not take long to get this on You Tube.

You must watch it..... Reverend Otis is the best. So intelligent and so well spoken. Real and down to earth.

The crowd yesterday was mostly there because they know Rabbi Pesner, and Otis was the guest. But I think he made many of them take notice. He is the best.

I sat in the front, and I need to work with my doctor now that I am healthy again, and lose about 50 pounds!!!! But ignore that in this video----- after it was over and Reverend Otis came up and laughed and gave me the big man-hug, some of the crowd kept asking me how I know Otis, and is he really that genuine? Of course he is....we need a few hundred more like him to get this thing right.

If you don't love this interview, I can't help you.

Harnessing Faith to Work for Justice

by seeprogress

Economic inequality. Work-family stress. Racism, sexism, and intolerance. Underserved or forgotten communities. How can faith and hope connect policies to people’s lives when situations seem bleak? What does using faith to work for justice and equality look like in 2015? What is the role of the faith community in pursuing concrete public policy solutions to respond to the everyday challenges facing families?

Two of the nation’s most prominent faith leaders are leading efforts to transform visions of social justice into real-world solutions that can make a difference in people’s lives. Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III, senior pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, and Rabbi Jonah Pesner, director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism in Washington, D.C., will discuss their local and national work advocating for a living wage, poverty reduction, racial healing, work-family supports, and more. They will also explore how faith motivates their work.

Please join the Center for American Progress for this lively, insightful conversation.

Welcoming remarks:
Jeff Krehely, Senior Vice President, Domestic Policy, Center for American Progress

Participants:
Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III , Senior Pastor, Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago, Illinois
Rabbi Jonah Pesner , Director, Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, Washington, D.C.
