Rev. Meg Barnhouse's sermon delivered on November 11, 2012. Wynton Marsalis writes: "To improvise means to find your own way of intelligently using what you have in order to improve your environment; to swing means to maintain equilibrium with elegance, to be resilient; and to play the blues means that no matter how tragic a situation may be you have the capacity to conquer it with style." UU theology and practice is very much like jazz.
