Bowing to the Spirits of Nature: Let’s Visit a Shinto Shrine
Rev. Dr. Roger Jones preaching with Religious Education Coordinator Crystal Fountain, Ministerial Intern Rosemary Dodd, Worship Associates Celia Buckley and Andy Cramer, music by the UUSS Choir, Music Director Anthony Tavianini, Pianist Irina Tchantceva, altar design by Terrie Taylor.
A Circle Service for All Ages
Dating back at least 2,500 years, Shinto is the indigenous religion of Japan. In this ritual-based tradition, people honor and pray to kami, which are divine spirits within the land and landscapes of Japan’s islands. With slides from his travels, Roger will introduce Shinto. In a ritual today, we will post our wishes, blessings or hopes to reflect the hanging of wooden plaques (called ema) at a shrine.
