This Sunday, March 27th we welcome our Guest Minister the Rev Nick Boke
Nicholas Boke is the former minister of the First Universalist Parish of Chester, Vermont, and has spoken from several dozen UU pulpits in New England and beyond. He currently works as an international education consultant in the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa. He lives in Chester, Vermont, with his wife, Buffy, who recently retired from her ministry at First Parish Unitarian Universalist in Canton, MA.
Today’s Sermon: “Art and Religion”
How Religious Is What We Think of as Art?
Reading Gordon Childe’s take on the shift from prehistory to the agricultural and urban revolutions, What Happened in History a few weeks ago got me to thinking about the art I love. I wondered whether the paintings hanging on our living room walls and the music I listen to early in the morning are connected to the efforts of those “artist-magicians” who set all this creation of beauty in motion so many millennia ago.
We will attempt to simulcast our service via Zoom. For those participating by Zoom, the experience will be different than previously. The hymns and other material will not be on the screen, and those present in the sanctuary will not be able to see or hear you. If you have an Announcement or a Joy or Concern to share, you should communicate it in advance to someone who will be physically present. The Zoom link is https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82879461348
and the passcode is FallRiver (no space).
To join by phone, call 1 646 876 9923. The meeting ID is 828 7946 1348 and the passcode is 556537114
