If we were in the United States, the question “ Which is the dirtiest city in 2017?” would not arise at all. This is because we all know that Los Angeles is not just one of the dirtiest and most polluted cities in “God’s Own Country””. Los Angeles cannot sleep. Despite the feelings of the moment, I noticed that the streets all around the city were as dirty as they were on 31 December, 2017. Thus if in the title of this sermon I have asked the rhetorical question- which city is the dirtiest in 2017?, it was actually meant to awaken you to our mutually-shared destiny in this country.
