Join us as we welcome Emerson scholar, the Rev. Dr. Barry Andrews.
On several occasions, Martin Luther King, Jr. declared, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” These words were also woven into the rug in the Oval Office during Barack Obama’s presidency. They come from a sermon Theodore Parker gave in 1853. Who was Theodore Parker, and, given the current political climate, how can we be certain the arc bends toward justice?
Dr. Barry Andrews is the Minister Emeritus of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock on Long Island. He is the author and editor of numerous books on Transcendentalist authors. His most recent titles are Transcendentalism and the Cultivation of the Soul and Transcendentalism Yesterday and Today: Addresses and Sermons on Transcendentalist Themes, both available from booksellers online. He and his wife, Linda, live on Bainbridge Island in Washington State.
