Looking for streaming media liberal sermons, homilies and lectures from

[GreenPartyVoter]

any faith that can be watched/listend to online.

Liberal in this case means the faith in question needs to be open to tolerance and pluralism of beliefs, inclusive of people from all walks of life, and have an interest in social justice.

English language is preferred.

Thanks!

1. Christianity: The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew Chapters 5, 6 and 7)

Setting
When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying...

Beatitudes
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Light of the world
You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.
    You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
    Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

4. A Cherag's Library

http://www.cheraglibrary.org/archive/index.html

In the Sufi Order International and the Sufi Ruhaniat Society, we have a Universal Worship Service. In this ceremony, sacred scriptures from the world's spiritual traditions are read. The link is to a page that lists certain themes that a cherag (minister) may use in a service. I think you will find the information helpful. You may wish to look around the rest of the site, as there is more information there that may be useful.
