"Soapbox Sunday" has become a tradition in many congregations. In this special service, members and friends exercise their right to free speech and "get up on their soapbox" to tell us something about which they are concerned or passionate. Topics can span a broad spectrum, as some past examples show: Palm Oil - Unintentional Harm to the Environment; The Limits of Love and Peace; Infringement of church-state separation; etc.
