Afoot and Light-Hearted
July 27, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Online and in-person
Rev. Dr. Matthew Johnson
In Walt Whitman’s Song of the Open Road, he invites us to come along, “afoot and light-hearted” into the unknown. As we each embrace change, what does it mean to be “light-hearted” and adventurous about the journey ahead? What might we learn from, for example, the practice of pilgrimage, as we come to walk forward into the world?
We will Share the Plate with the Living Tradition Fund
The Living Tradition Fund provides essential grants for ministers to reduce the burden of seminary student loans, scholarships to seminary students, and general aid to ministers in need. This fund supports the leaders, innovators, and stewards of our faith in order to preserve and revitalize our movement everyday by allowing all individuals to pursue a life dedicated to Unitarian Universalism regardless of financial constraints.
