A Faithful Conversation About Evil

speaker photoA Sermon from: July 13, 2008
By: Rev. Craig D. Schwalenberg and Lori Hlaban

 

This sermon will be Part Two of the “Our Faith” series of worship services. Being a non-creedal faith that values the responsible search for truth and meaning is hard work. Fortunately, we aren’t alone: we have this religious community helping, listening, and challenging us. It is through such Faithful Conversations that our own beliefs grow and deepen. You’re invited to listen in on one such conversation between Craig and seminarian Lori Hlaban as they discuss the difficult topic of Evil.

Things Seen and Unseen

By: Rev. Andrew C. Kennedy

Drawing on the keen observations of the nature mystic Annie Dillard, the science writer Bill Bryson and others, this service ponders our place in the scheme of things in an utterly wild and literally incomprehensible universe where, if Dillard is right, “The secret of seeing is the pearl of great price.”
