Sermon Description:
This Sunday, we will observe Earth Day by wondering together about “wildness” and our relationship to it, both in the natural world and human community. How might it lead us to resist a cultural ideal/idol of productivity? How might it empower our practice of the UU 7th principle, “Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part”?
