Unity Candidating Q&A 5: Reading

What are you reading these days?

Speaker 1 (00:06):

Well, in addition to rereading Laura Park's book on policy governance in advance of Candidating at Unity Church Unitarian, in a week and a half, I'm reading for fun, Marilyn Robinson's book on reading. Genesis Robinson wrote Gilead, which is one of my favorite novels of all times, and one of my favorite descriptions of ministry, and she recently published a book on reading the book of Genesis, a nonfiction book on Genesis, and she approaches Genesis not quite as a subject for academic research, not quite a devotional scripture, but as a piece of literature with themes, characters embodied theology. I don't actually agree with as much of her as I thought I would. Her theological position is not quite what I thought it was, but it's a fun read with a really sparkling author.
