Architects of Fate: Building a New Way
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains
March 27, 2022
Rev. Kevin Tarsa, with Chuck Champlin and Beth Karow, Worship Associates
“All are architects of fate, working in these walls of time,” wrote Longfellow. The religious tradition we inherited and call home is always a work in progress. Perhaps especially now. We continue to renovate this spiritual abode in our time, drawing on our skills and gifts, and using the materials at hand. Are you a brick layer? A roofer? A painter? A carpenter? A plumber? Someone who sews the seat cushions and curtains, or someone who landscapes the entry?
