At first glance, the concept of inner ecology might not seem familiar to most of us. "Ecology" is most commonly used in reference to nature or, in the context of our current sermon series, an "outward expression." In this week's sermon, Rev. Dr. David D. Young turns that examination inwards, and explores the multifaceted dimensions of our inner ecology.
