Speaker: Peter Joys
Sometimes real things can strike us as magical. A work of art can display qualities that we can feel but not explain. Even illusionists can convince us of their power over the impossible. Even advertisements, for better or worse, employ aesthetics that move us. In this service we will play with some of the ways that the tangible world can hint at intangible dimensions, and we will discuss how our minds reverberate with intuitions and perceptions we cannot prove, in ways that are often uplifting and sometimes manipulating and sometimes both.

Rev. Barbara Gilday
What do we see when we look at a person? First impressions? Solidifying opinions / judgments / assessments? How often do we assess our own lenses? How do our relations with others match up with our first principle: “The inherent worth and dignity of every person”? Or the schema of our proposed Values.

Rev. Bruce Bode
The majority of fairy tales – “minor scriptures” representing the distilled wisdom of a culture – deal with the issues and psychology of children and youth as they make the difficult threshold crossing into adulthood. But there are also a minority of fairy tales that deal with the developmental changes, psychological shifts, and crucial values related to both the middle and elder years. This sermon will feature two entertaining and instructive fairy tales that bring forward the issues and values of the elder years.

Joseph Bednarik
In this bright dark world of beauty and tumult, poet Theodore Roethke said, “What we need is more people who specialize in the impossible.” Why would anyone bother with the impossible? This sermon explores the realm of impossible, and what powers we need to harness to become that specialist our world so desperately needs.
