The Nature of Religious Experience and the Power of Knowing

Sermons-First Unitarian Universalist Society of San Francisco

"The Nature of Religious Experience and the Power of Knowing" (January 24, 2021) Worship Service
William James in his classic text, "The Varieties of Religious Experience" outlines the qualities common to so-called religious experiences. One of them is knowing. It may be the hardest for UU's to reckon with and it may be the quality that we most need to get in touch with now in our life as a nation.
