The Empty Space in the Middle

Leave a Comment

The ancient Hebrews had an absolute taboo on the use of the word “God”.  This taboo was expressed in the third of the Ten Commandments: “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.”  The sharing of silence is an important part of our worship services, and in the services of many Unitarian congregations around the world.  We can’t avoid words altogether, but we do well to remember that our words are no more than nets which we cast into the vast ocean of life in our attempts to capture meaning.

This full sermon by the Rev Geoff Usher can be read here.
