What lessons do we continue to take from The Galilean Carpenter in his life, death and after death? How did his call for a reinvigorated Judaism get turned into a different religion? Is Unitarianism a safe home for Christians?

Sunday April 27, Rev. Wendy McNiven - Living Well Until We Die.
American surgeon Atul Gawande has written an engaging book called “Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End”. It is, in part, an exploration of how people can be supported in prioritizing what really matters to us, in order to live as “successfully”, as fully as we can until the very end of our lives, even in the face of serious medical problems. Today’s service will explore some of the basic – and demanding – questions we might ask ourselves and each other, as mortal beings. There is no single “right” answer.

Rev. Wendy McNiven is a Unitarian minister, retired and living on Vancouver Island.  She has served congregations in BC and Alberta, and continues her ministry in retirement through leading rites of passage, counselling and coaching.  As a member of the Comox Valley community, she is involved in environmental activism, tai chi, and choral singing.  Wendy and her husband Mike are outdoor enthusiasts and grandparents.

In the bottom of Pandora’s box was hope. It was what saved her and Prometheus from all the challenges life throws at us. Hope allows us to dream, to plan and to imagine a future we might never be part of.

This pre-recorded sermon is part of the Meaning Making series.
