The Big Question

An address by the Rev. David Usher - recorded on Sunday, 13th January, 2019 in the Unitarian Meeting House in Adelaide.

In this address, David explores the really Big Question - "Does God exist?"
David believes that "God" - as a physical presence in a material universe - doesn't exist, but asserts that this doesn't make him an atheist.
David resolves this apparent 'dissonance' by drawing an analogy with a doubting child's question to a parent "Do you believe in Santa Claus?" and uses a wise parent's answer to explain his understanding of God.
The Reality and Presence of God is expressed through such dimensions of spirituality as Wonder, Awe, Mystery, Love, Kindness, Generosity - and Belief - all the things that we can't see or touch or reduce to a precise formula - but which are manifestations of the loving presence of God in our lives and which we lose to our spiritual peril.
