Even these things may seem pleasant


Summary:

In this poignant sermon, a grieving father reflects on the sudden death of his son and his own journey toward spiritual healing. He explores the Unitarian Universalist faith, critiquing the movement for becoming a political “cocoon” that often alienates those with diverse theological or private beliefs. By sharing his personal history of trauma and loss, the speaker advocates for a more inclusive environment where members feel safe discussing miracles, God, and the afterlife. He ultimately finds comfort in the concept of quantum entanglement as a metaphor for the enduring connection between the living and the dead. Through the lens of his son’s Latin tattoo, he emphasizes that while tragedy is never pleasant, the shared humanity of grief can lead to profound communal love.
