UU minister Robert Fulghum discovered the meaning of life once in Cyprus. And the meaning of Copenhagen -- no, not Danny Kaye's Hans Christian Anderson's - was evident for us all to see not long ago.

She will also share some music demonstrating how African-Americans communicate through music. Drawing on our rich and proud history as Unitarian Universalists, Rev.
