Dr. Kania to speak Sunday at All Souls

BELLVILLE — Dr. Walter Kania will be the speaker at Sunday’s 10:30 a.m. service at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church of Bellville, 25 Church. St.

Kania will speak on the subject of “A forgotten reality.” It is possible for a forgotten reality to change everything that we see, hope for, and believe. What if we realized that we are connected to everyone and everything? What if indeed the Spirit behind Creation is a part of everyone and everything? We make distinctions between things and people, yet when it comes to all of Creation there is no such thing as a separation between what we may call sacred orprofane. All of creation is sacred. The call is for us to look beneath the surface of our faith or spiritual search and see what it is that is Sacred in everyone and everything.
