Unitarian Universalist Church of Lexington's Podcast

Information, updates, and news are available to us 24/7. Many people struggle with balancing all of that information in their lives. We might think this is a new problem for human beings, but it isn't. It's just different. We'll explore how we can manage the deluge as well as engage all of it with intention.

* A warning for this podcast. This particular sermon will touch on some subjects of existential dread, so if that isn't what you need right now, feel free to listen to something else. *

This sermon covers the topic of the climate. The reading for today is “Characteristics of Life” by Camille T. Dungy. Yes, the climate is in a crisis. Yes it is real and it is scary. But what if there was also hope?
