Join us as we celebrate Robert Burns’ 267th birthday (1759-1796). Scotland’s beloved poet’s words championed human dignity, questioned religious dogma, and crossed oceans to inspire Appalachian communities. Discover how Burns’s democratic vision aligns with Unitarian values, learn about his work preserving folk songs, and trace the journey of Scottish traditions into our American mountain culture. Service includes traditional Scottish and Appalachian music, a children’s story about Rabbie and the Mouse, and reflections on what this 18th-century poet can teach us about equality, compassion, and the sacred worth of every person. All ages welcome.
