Margery Kempe was a medieval mystic who lived in England in the early 15th century. This service will explore her intimate, vulnerable, shocking and at times notably annoying autobiography, widely considered to be the first of its kind in the english language. Through Margery’s many pilgrimages, visions, and altercations with religious authorities, she becomes, if not a saint as she may have hoped, a beacon of authenticity, personal devotion, and self expression.

Our UUA General Assembly calls us to ask the hard and holy questions: Where are we placing our energy? Who are we partnering with? And how do we make change that ripples outward — through our congregation, our communities, and our denomination? This Sunday, Rev. Christe will reflect on what we might carry home from GA to feed us and inspire us to engage in our collective resources that can meet the urgency of this moment — not someday, but now.
