Fellowship speaker

PORT ANGELES — Joseph Bednarik will speak at Olympic Unitarian Universalist Fellowship’s 10:30 a.m. service Sunday.

The topic will be “Tension, Harmony and the Golden Mean.”

“In our age of polarized politics and righteous opinions, this sermon considers the ancient ideas of the ‘Golden Mean’ and the ‘Middle Way,’ searching for a harmonious zone between loud extremes. This topic is sufficiently broad to encompass and incorporate the latest tragedy our country is suffering,” according to a news release.

Bednarik is the assistant to the minister in the pulpit at Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Port Townsend.

He studied philosophy at Haverford College, worked in literary publishing for over 20 years and is currently co-publisher of Copper Canyon Press, a nonprofit dedicated to poetry.

Olympic Unitarian is located at 73 Howe Road.

For more information, phone 360-417-2665 or visit www.olympicuuf.org.
