Easter sermon by Archbishop Robert Mary Clement 1982

A restored recording of Archbishop Robert Mary Clement's Easter Day sermon, preached at the Church of the Beloved Disciple on April 11, 1982. Speaking to a predominantly lesbian and gay congregation, Clement proclaimed the Resurrection as the triumph of life over fear and exclusion, affirming that "God lives. God is alive. God is present with us—for each one of us. Straight or gay. This is God's house. God's love. God's church. God's people." The sermon exemplifies the church's theology of radical inclusion, emphasizing Christ's message of abundant life, the dignity of LGBTQ+ people, and the Eucharist as the living sign of God's unconditional love. Restored from the original audio recording.
