Rev. Barry Andrews will be in the pulpit. Sermon: The Gospel According to This Moment: "Henry David Thoreau is known for many things. He was by turns a schoolteacher, a pencil maker, a surveyor, and a handyman. He was also an advocate of simple living, civil disobedience, and environmental preservation in addition to being a naturalist and a writer. I believe that the thread on which all the beads of his many-faceted life are strung is his idiosyncratic and unconventional religious faith."

Music by Cally Lindenmier, mezzo; and Dwight Beckmeyer, piano.

Barry Andrews is Minister Emeritus of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock on Long Island, having also served UU churches in Spokane, Manhattan, and San Diego. He is author of several books, including Transcendentalism and the Cultivation of the Soul, American Sage: The Spiritual Teachings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, and The Gospel According to This Moment: The Spiritual Message of Henry David Thoreau.” He and his wife, Linda, live on Bainbridge Island.
