Dr. James Haddix of All Souls Congregational Church in Bangor reflects on his nearly 50 years in the ministry, how he and his family came to Maine, and how we can build relationships and a sense of understanding among the different faiths of the world.  Just prior to his retirement, Dr. Haddix delivered his final sermon at All Souls on December 25, 2016.
