You know that old expression, “You can’t get there from here”? Well, Rev. Tony’s sermon this Sunday will suggest that maybe you can’t even get HERE from here! That is, it is necessary to journey somewhere else before you can know where you already were. Or, as the poet T. S. Eliot once put it:
We shall not cease from exploration;
and the end of all our exploring
will be to arrive where we started
and know the place for the first time.
Rev. Dr. Tony Larsen recently retired from being the minister at Unitarian Church North in Mequon, Wisconsin for 4 years. Before that he served 42 years at Olympia Brown UU Church in Racine, WI. Tony was born in South San Francisco in 1949 and studied to be a Catholic priest for 10 years before switching to Unitarian Universalism. He has written a book entitled Trust Yourself? You Have the Power (Impact Publishers, 1979), co-authored a UUA curriculum called A Catechism for Unitarian Universalists (1988), contributed a chapter on “UU evangelism” in Salted With Fire (Skinner House, 1995), and contributed a chapter on the spiritual practice of generosity in Everyday Spiritual Practice (Skinner House, 1999).
