When I was invited back to give another talk to the good folks at UUCH, I thought this was the perfect time to confess my “Casyist” leanings. Perhaps it’s odd to give a church message on a fictional character in literature (the “Christ figure” character of Jim Casy from Grapes of Wrath) , but I hope you’ll join me and hear the good news – the gospel of Casy – and how it relates to the world, in a time we most certainly need some good news. Do be warned, though, that there will certainly be some Grapes of Wrath spoilers in my message, so you may want to brush up on your Steinbeck before coming.
