Sunday Worship: Spirituality at the End of Religion

The Rev. James Ishmael Ford, preaching
Judith Martin-Straw, worship associate
UU minister and Zen teacher James Ford will be visiting us once again. These days he finds himself thinking about the spiritual life, and what it means in hard times. In particular, he finds himself thinking of the current assaults on civil liberties, especially the scapegoating of the Trans community and immigrants. But also he’s mindful of Pentecost, that moment when tongues of fire rest on hearts, transforming lives. Today he touches on his reflections in his new book, Zen at the End of Religion, to find some pointers for all of us. Join us in-person or online.
Music: Saunder Choi, music director; Kion Heidari, vocalist.
