Next Sunday our lively congregation of theists and atheists, mystics and mechanics 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.
