First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee

A Sermon from: November 2, 2008
By: Rev. Andrew C. Kennedy

About this sermon, Drew Kennedy says:  “Ever since colonial times, it has been customary for ministers in many churches to preach an “Election Sermon” the Sunday before presidential elections.  While IRS regulations clearly oblige me not to endorse specific candidates or particular political parties, this still leaves me broad latitude to address the defining social, political and moral issues of the day.  As part of the service, we may have a chancel drama of some sort by our in-house chancel arts group, ‘Stage Left.’  I invite you to join me.”

A Sermon from: October 5, 2008
By: Rev. Andrew C. Kennedy

About this sermon Drew says:  “Please join us for the second of a two-part series on Ralph Waldo Emerson.  Even though Emerson resigned his Unitarian pulpit in Boston in 1832, he still went on to single-handedly transform Unitarianism.  Join me as we again go behind the scenes to see how some of Emerson’s most celebrated teachings are directly tied in some surprising ways to his own personal experience and biography.”

A Sermon from: September 28, 2008
By: Rev. Andrew C. Kennedy

Today we start a two-part sermon series on Ralph Waldo Emerson, an American legend. In this first of two services, we will look behind the scenes to Emerson’s personal family life, where we find the roots of his own vocational and personal identity struggle. It is out of this deep, personal struggle that his wonderfully compelling personal philosophy finally emerges – just as ours may.

About this sermon Drew says: “Drawing on Albert Schweitzer, Mary Oliver and others, I’ll be addressing the purposes of the church, an important one being that it is a place to regularly ponder where we fit in the larger scheme of things.”
