E-Wire, Vol. 13, March 27, 2008 Last Sunday’s Service Charlie Ellis It’s always a treat to hear our old friend, the Rev. Charles Ellis. Last Sunday, Charlie offered a wide-ranging, in-depth presentation on transcendentalism. While focusing on Emerson, Charlie interwove threads from Des Cartes, Kant, Freud, Jung, Thoreau, Channing, Parker, and other intellectual and spiritual leaders who have influenced Unitarian-Universalism. The discussion that followed touched on important topics of interest such as the interplay between individualism and community. We’re grateful to Charlie for deepening our understanding of both transcendentalism and our UU heritage.
