Sermons Presented at the UUFT — Text and Audio

April 27, 2008 — by Rev. Lisa R. Schwartz

On this, the date of Easter for the Orthodox Christian Church, Rev. Lisa Schwartz will revisit old metaphors of life, death, finality, and rebirth. Death is associated with words like final, end, mourning, and loss. But what does it mean to die? And how is it that, in the midst of death, so many find hope and new life? Come hear this “belated” Easter sermon and explore the issues.

It’s time for the annual Question Sermon! Rev. Lisa Schwartz answers submitted questions about the meaning of life, Unitarian Universalism, other religious, social or environmental questions, and even philosophical musings like whether God can make a rock so big she can’t lift it. And there are always a few foolish surprises at this energetic celebration of laughter, so come prepared.
