Our congregation of theists and atheists, mystics and materialists will explore the use of a powerful linguistic practice: The creation of metaphors. Sharing the words and ideas of revolutionary astronomers, leaping philosophers, and visionary poets, we will focus attention on the miracle of our existence and wonder aloud whether God is Love.

Joseph Bednarik serves as the Co-Publisher of Copper Canyon Press, a nonprofit literary publisher dedicated to poetry. He studied philosophy at Haverford College and speaks regularly at Unitarian Universalist congregations in the Salish Sea region.
