Unitarians Face A New Age

Date: May 10, 2026

Leader: Margaret Wanlin
Speaker: Rev. Shawn Gauthier

In the 1930s, our spiritual forebears bravely asked “whether the organised religious movement known as Unitarianism has any real function to perform in the modern world”. Come and hear their bold response, and Reverend Shawn Gauthier’s equally powerful invitations to us all. This sermon was offered in October 2025 at the installation of Rev. Danie Webber in Hamilton, ON. This version was recorded in November 2025 at VanU.

Rev. Shawn Gauthier is the Settled Minister at Vancouver Unitarians. Previously, he served for 16 years as the Minister at the First Unitarian Congregation of Toronto. Rev. Shawn loves to travel, to take in theatre and classical music, and to explore alongside his husband Bob.

Attend online or in person at 1502 Mountdale Ave. at 10:30 AM.
