About this episode

Reverend Karen G. Johnston explores the concept of interdependence through the practice of prayer in Unitarian Universalism.

This Sunday, guest minister Reverend Karen G. Johnston, Senior Minister at First Unitarian Universalist Society of Burlington, asked: How do we connect with the interdependent nature of the universe? Unitarian Universalism in the 21st century (at least so far) guides us to name Interdependence as one of our core values. That's cool - But it's also kinda weird because Interdependence is not just a value, it's the very essence of reality. One answer is to reclaim a practice of prayer. Whether you currently pray with not a smidge of ambivalence; whether you grew up praying and left it behind; whether prayer has been used as a weapon against you and you want to keep your distance: this service is an invitation to go beyond an intellectual or cultural concept of interdependence, and explore whether prayer might be the practice you choose to not just value Interdependence, but affirm it and groove with it.
