The UU 7th Principle affirms the "interconnected web of existence of which we are all a part."  In what ways are we intertwined with each other and with the world?  How can we live out and deepen this understanding?  Lynn will speak and sing on the theme of loving interconnection.

Lynn Harrison is a Candidate for Unitarian Universalist ministry.  She served as Intern Minister at First Unitarian Congregation of Toronto in 2013-14 and will complete her Master of Divinity studies at Emmanuel College (University of Toronto) in 2015.  Lynn and her family (husband David and two children aged 20 and 18) are members of Neighbourhood UU Congregation in Toronto’s east end.  Lynn is also an award-winning singer-songwriter whose music has been heard on CBC Radio’s Vinyl Café, Fresh Air and other programs.

As Unitarian Universalists we hold as sacred, respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part (our 7th Principle).  Observations such as Earth Day help us to not only celebrate this principle, but also to take stock of its place in our daily lives.
