The Salem Witch Trials weren’t just a strange chapter of colonial hysteria — they were a warning about what happens when fear, faith, and power collide. In this service, Rev. Susan explores the real lessons of Salem: how communities lose their moral bearings, how suspicion becomes a social contagion, and how religious identity can be twisted in moments of cultural upheaval. Salem isn’t only about “hysterical girls” or “vilified women.” It’s about a people struggling to navigate a new religious landscape — and about an America that still hasn’t learned how to recognize its own panic, prejudice, and spiritual drift. In other words, it is about now.
