Below are some links to some recent sermons delivered at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Lowcountry, in Bluffton, South Carolina.  

A brief note before you read.  Please keep in mind that these sermons were written to be delivered orally, to be heard and not read.  This means two things.  First, when I write a sermon I am not taking a future reader into consideration and so do not include notes on inflection and tone and do not carry forward reading and music the original audience may have experienced and may have given meaning to something barely referenced in the sermon.  Thus, subtle attempts of humor made evident to the audience by tone and inflection may easily be misconstrued as insulting or derogatory to the reader.  Please keep this in mind and read with an open mind and inquiring spirit.  

The second important thing to remember about these sermons, is that they were not written for publication.  References to other texts are often vague and on occasion even nonexistent.  Some references may be to other readings the audience heard and were there attributed to the corresponding person or text.  While I try to reference at least an author or text for those things I quote directly, it is usually incomplete at best.  Again, this is due to the nature of sermons.  Should I be caught misquoting an author or text, please consider my hand slapped and I will do better next time.  If I should be caught quoting an author or text without reference, please consider that it may be have handled in another part of the service that is not here included.
