Pilgrimage | Spiritual Practices to Light the Way | Rev. Dr. Daniel Kanter | 04.06.2025

What does it mean to journey with intention? What questions are worth traveling for? And how might India and the Khasi expression of Unitarian Universalism help us reimagine our own faith?

In this sermon, Rev. Dr. Daniel Kanter concludes our series on the spiritual practices of Unitarian Universalism by exploring pilgrimage—not just as a journey to far-off lands, but as an intentional spiritual path that can begin in your own backyard.

Drawing from his recent sabbatical experience in Northeast India with the Khasi Unitarian community, Rev. Kanter invites us into a deeper understanding of what it means to seek the sacred. Learn what Khasi Unitarians have taught him—and can teach us—about gratitude, reverence, and living a grounded spiritual life.

This sermon is an invitation to walk softly, ask big questions, and rediscover the sacred in the world around you.

This sermon is part of our Spiritual Practices to Light the Way series – Supported by the strong foundation of our living Unitarian Universalist faith and our vibrant church community, we are each called to deepen our spiritual lives so that we can have a positive and meaningful impact on the world around us. In this series, we’ll explore the five spiritual practices that light the path forward as we work toward a more just and peaceful world.
