Rev. Tom Rosiello will lead the service.
Are there places of natural beauty and wonder that feel sacred to you? Where you feel connected to something greater? Maybe you even visited them this summer? The idea that there’s a sacred relationship between people and part of their environment is not new to Unitarian Universalism. The Unitarian transcendentalists, and in particular, Thoreau, often reflected upon this idea. Thoreau’s thinking was influenced by the Hindu texts he studied, which acknowledged this special relationship. Rev. Rosiello will look at the influence of Hinduism on Thoreau in the development of this idea of sacred geography. Parishioners will be encouraged to explore sacred geography as it applies to their own lives.
The service will be held in FPC’s sanctuary, with music provided by pianist/organist Sanghee Kim. Child care will be provided.
