Introduction: Giving Meaning vs. Finding Meaning: Sermon by Rev. Norm Horofker 

The inspiration for  this sermon is the Fourth Principle of Unitarian Universalism. “We the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and promote a free and responsible search for Truth and Meaning.” As Rev. Norm Horofker was preparing this sermon, he was drawn to the work of Viktor Frankl, a man uniquely qualified to comment on searching for the meaning in life. Viktor Frankl survived life in a Nazi death camp. His mother and father, his brother and his wife all perished in those camps. Yet, Viktor Frankl not only survived the experience of the death camps, he transcended them, emerging from the experience with a most powerful and positive understanding of human motivation. Frankl’s book “Man’s Search for Meaning” written in 1946 sold over ten million copies by the time of his death in 1997.
