First Parish in Wayland

Please join us on July 24 at 10 a.m. for a service that explores: “Can Shakespeare Teach Us Anything About Leading the Good Life?” The philosopher George Santayana wrote “Shakespeare is remarkable among the greater poets for being without a philosophy and without a religion.” But is this true? Together we will read a number of scenes and soliloquies in his plays to guide a discussion on how they might speak to us today, 400 years later, about life, love and our responsibilities to others. The service will be led by Joel Angiolillo. Erik Felton will serve as Lay Minister.

Our summer services, typically led by parishioners, offer a chance to come together for lively discussion and reflection on different topics. They include a presentation, readings, and meditations. A Lay Minister will be present each Sunday.
