We carry on with the second of our “Spirituality of the Decades” series with a look at the 1960s. Great music, of course!

I discuss guns and the culture of violence in the USA in light of Littleton’s own gun issue.

The first in my series on the spirituality of modern US decades; I consider the spiritual lessons of the 1950s. Unfortunately, the first 28 minutes of the video were lost. The video starts at the very end of the choir’s anthem. Don’t miss the postlude!

I have been reading a lot about Transcendentalism lately. It occurred to me… we are Transcendentalists today! Upon reading further, other UUs agree (notably retired UU ministers Rev. Barry Andrews and Rev. Jim Sherblom, both of whose books confirmed many of the thoughts I have been having, including even Peter Mayer’s “Holy Now” as a Transcendentalist song… great minds think alike? (Unfortunately we had technical difficulties on this day and the first half of the service is missing from this video.)
