The Purpose of Poetry

What is the purpose of poetry? What is the purpose of religion? How do the two purposes overlap? Our speaker, Rev. Dr. Lynn Ungar, will be joining us monthly for the next six months. She is both a UU minister and a published poet, and this month she will share some of both her theology and her poetry—an explain how the two connect.

Rev. Dr. Lynn Ungar graduated from Starr King School for the Ministry in 1991, and spent 10 years as a parish minister and three years as a director of religious education. For the past 12 years she has served as the minister for lifespan learning for the UU Church of the Larger Fellowship, which serves its more than 3,000 members around the world primarily via the internet.
