Rev. Norman Allen: Transcending Mysteries
Join Rev. Norman Allen as we explore the “Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures,” which serves as the First Source of our Unitarian Universalist faith. We’ll remember the spiritual foundations of our movement, consider the miracle of our very existence, and dare to ask the unanswerable questions.
Rev. Norman Allen is a longtime member and was ordained by All Souls last March. He serves as minister to Davies Memorial Unitarian Universalist Church in Camp Springs, MD, and is a graduate of Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC. An award-winning playwright, Rev.
