Theodore Parker’s Grave: A Memorial Day reflection on our spiritual namesake

Memorial Day seems the perfect time to visit the grave of Theodore Parker in Florence’s English Cemetery. Since few of us can get to Italy for Memorial Day, we’ll have to take an imaginary trip to place a few carefully considered items alongside the beautiful marble carving of Parker by William Wetmore Story. On May 24, Kevin Murray will guide us on just such a voyage.

This is a multigenerational service, and children are welcome to remain in the sanctuary for the entire service. Childcare for children under 4 will be available in our nursery.

Our Zoom link for this service is here: https://zoom.us/j/96469349357, and you can access this week’s order of service here.
