A Salute to the Sun
by Rev. Rob Eller-Isaacs
Unitarian Universalist children of my generation were taught that it was the Pharaoh Akhenaten who first “unified the Godhead,” by insisting that everyone worship Amun Ra, the sun god. By doing so he became, in effect, the founder of Unitarianism. Farfetched, perhaps, but it makes for a fascinating narrative for a service on Creation. Alexander Von Humboldt will drop by to visit as will Darwin and a number of his associates.
Rob Eller-Isaacs is co-minister with his wife, Janne, of Unity Church-Unitarian in Saint Paul, Minnesota. In addition to his work in Saint Paul, Rob is a sought-after coach and consultant on congregational governance.
