“While Reverend Ray preaches a good sermon, many of which have strong social justice messages, should you plan on posing questions or having a different perspective to Roger himself - Watch Out! For off the pulpit Rev Ray is very reactive and easily offended, quick to judge and often more inclined...”Read full review »

“Excellent talks, which occasionally hold up a mirror to the incongruencies of what people of faith, say they believe and what they do. Always illuminating on yoking together our history as it effects the present and how to grow, build, and emancipate our beliefs as we become more aware and...”Read full review »

“If you are looking for a Bible teaching church, this is not it. It isn't even used in some sermons, and when it is, the speaker disagrees with it or gives a "trigger warning" intro before paraphrasing and applying it incorrectly. I have attended 7-8 different Christian churches over...”Read full review »

“Thank you for the message you serve! I'm a progressive that often goes the opposite direction of the word sermon, but you have a way of delivering that message with humanism at heart, and that is right inline with my beliefs! I will continue to listen, and I'll support in any way I can...”Read full review »

“That he would evoke an entire sermon to the Hypocrisy and ugliness behind the Trayvon Martin verdict speaks volume to his character. Those words are what so many of us needed that next morning. We are blessed to have preachers like him : )”

“I am an awakened Catholic (IE the church was destroyed when Constantine used is to secure his empire). Celtic Christianity is my flavor, no original sin, no salvation through the blood sacrifice of the big guy's son. Just God in all things. Give thanks, be a good steward and listen for the...”Read full review »
