Link to the Show / Show NotesThe esoteric religion Kabbalah has been in the news recently and I've been studying its beliefs for some time. In this sermon, you will find that although it is a rather complex religion it's still basic in its belief and in its understanding of the purpose of life. Go to the links below to see two diagrams of the Kabbalah Tree of Life which represents the core of its teachings. Enjoy.
This sermon was preached at Davies Memorial UUC an intentional racially and theologically diverse congregation in Prince George's County, MD.
