A sermon is an oral presentation by a live speaker to a live
congregation. It always involves a bit of interaction, even if it’s
just eye contact and facial expressions. Reading the text of a sermon,
then, is like reading the script of a play to yourself. The live,
communal experience is gone.
Nevertheless, please enjoy reading these text versions of sermons and
other presentations made at the UU Fellowship of Topeka during our
worship services. You may find that there are additional notes and/or
commentaries to the original text.

The Universe continually reveals itself to be perfectly splendid and absolutely immense, and yet there is a vast, interconnected web that seems to link everything that is, down to the infinitely tiny. Rev. Lisa Schwartz will be assisted by WU professor and Fellowship member Brian Thomas in this service celebrating our harmonious cosmos, and the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth.

Or any of the nearly 800,000 African American men in prison? Rev. Lisa Romantum Schwartz uses images of Hip Hop to explore the topic of race in the sermon below.
