CANTON -- On Sunday, June 26, Tom Van de Water and Betsy Kepes will be pulpit guests at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Canton.
Their sermon is entitled, “Pilgrimage: Walking on Ancient Stones While Searching for Modern Meaning.”
In March, Van de Water and Kepes walked for a month in Japan, following the Shikoku 88 Temple pilgrimage route. Through words and photos, they will reflect on Buddhism today, on walking, and on returning to the everyday world.
Van de Water came to Buddhism through early UU influences in Canton, college reading, poet Gary Snyder, a Watson Fellowship in Hokkaido, Japan, working on a fire lookout in Idaho, Zen studies in Syracuse, and teaching high school science. Kepes is not a Buddhist but is a long-distance walker and runner, a piano teacher, a writer, and a lifelong UU with a pantheist slant.
The Unitarian Universalist Church is at 3½ E. Main St., across from the park in Canton. Sunday morning worship and religious education programming for children begin at 10:30 a.m. All are welcome.
