What if they had not used their voice? Can we learn from the voices of yesterday how we should use our voice today? Eric Metaxas discusses The Voice of the Church Yesterday and Today at Parent Compass Celebration of God Gala. A few of the take aways: We have all greatly benefited and live today in the way we do because good people used their voice. Many of the voices of yesterday did so at the risk of their own lives.

Using your voice takes courage. How to overcome fear is discussed.The Church has a responsibility to not be silent in the face of evil.
