Love Across Change
Join Jim Foti, Assistant Minister at First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis, for his sermon, Love Across Change.
Our relationships, our institutions, and ourselves all change — sometimes quickly, other times perhaps not quickly enough. What are the stories that point us toward cultivating a constant love in an ever-changing world?
Monthly Worship Theme: Arc of Change
In his poem, “The Layers,” Stanley Kunitz looks back on his life of changes, “the milestones” and “abandoned campsites,” of his journey. All of us leave a trail of hopes that have fallen along the wayside, or burning embers of insight that light the way forward in our changing patterns. Change is. That is the nature of things. In a beautiful turn of phrase the poet writes, “a nimbus-clouded voice directed me: “Live in the layers, not on the litter.” This month we live in the layers of change, exploring the arcs of our own lives, the arc of this faith community, and the arc of history and change. To paraphrase Kunitz’s final line: We are not done with our changes.
