Today, Not Yesterday or Tomorrow

Speaker(s): Arthur Caliandro

Description: Arthur Caliandro ( 1933-2012) was the senior minister of Marble Collegiate Church from 1984 to 2009, after replacing Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, his mentor. He was known for his progressive initiatives to unite people of all faiths and to welcome gay and lesbian congregants. Caliandro frequently emphasized the spiritual importance of living in the present moment. He often taught that there is nothing one can do about the past; it is "yesterday's garbage" and should not be carried into the present. He reminded audiences that the future is not guaranteed, and worrying about it only creates unnecessary tension. He stressed that today is the only time we actually have to act, change our life's direction, or respond to the Holy Spirit. He often cited, "This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Dr. Caliandro was the 46th minister of the Collegiate Church, one of the oldest and most prominent Protestant congregations in North America. Born in Portland, Maine, Dr. Caliandro was the son of a Methodist minister and one of three brothers who all joined the ministry.
