A Desperate Mad Hope | Easter | Rev. Dr. Daniel Kanter | 04.20.25 UU Sermon

In his Unitarian Universalist Easter sermon, Rev. Dr. Daniel Kanter invites us to rethink resurrection — not as an ancient miracle, but as a living, breathing hope we carry into today's complicated world.

In "A Desperate Mad Hope," Rev. Kanter explores the Unitarian Universalist tradition of questioning and seeking deeper truth:
🌸 What does Easter mean when viewed through love instead of fear?
🌸 How does resurrection show up in our lives amid anxiety, division, and change?
🌸 How can spiritual resilience and hope reshape society for the better?

We are reminded: resurrection begins with us — in acts of kindness, courage, and building a moral foundation rooted in love.
