I Confess, Rev. Kathleen Rolenz, October 1, 2023
06/10/2023 Duração: 25minUnitarian Universalists long ago abandoned confession as part of their liturgical tradition, believing that such a practice was in direct opposition to our First Principle of “covenanting to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of all persons.” Rev. Rolenz will explore whether the ancient practice of confession is antithetical to our First Principle, or actually a vehicle for deeper self-reflection? This sermon podcast begins with Peggy Lin reading an excerpt from On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World by Danya Ruttenberg.

To Boldly Go Where..., Rev. George Anastos, September 3, 2023
03/09/2023 Duração: 17minOver the years we have developed myriad ways to navigate this world. We learn how to make our way from place to place. We learn habits to accomplish routine tasks. We learn problem solving techniques to tackle difficult situations. There are times, however, when we have no maps or when a problem surpasses our knowledge base. There are even those times when we know what we need to do, but don't know if we can muster the strength and resolve to move forward. This service probes the spiritual underpinnings of making our way through those wilderness times, those events and challenges when we find ourselves feeling lost, helpless and directionless.

Choosing to Be Chosen, Rev. Andrea LaSonde Anastos, August 20, 2023
25/08/2023 Duração: 20minA substantial number of us prefer ‘choosing’ to ‘being chosen.’ It’s all about the power. But as most of the great spiritual leaders have taught, power is not at the center of love, justice, sustainability, equity, or joy. Do we want the power? Or a whole and holy life? This sermon podcast begins with a reading of Luke 4:16-21 by worship associate Jess Goff.

Keeping the Sabbath, Jim Mulvey, August 13, 2023
25/08/2023 Duração: 19min“Remember the Sabbath day, and keep it holy.” Exodus 20:8 To the ancient Hebrews to sanctify and to make holy meant to set something apart. After laboring six days to create the world, the Hebrew god created the Sabbath as a day free from work, a day free from doing. It was created as a time for being. What are some of the ways we can keep Sabbath by separating ourselves for a day from the world and all of its busyness and constant doings? By keeping Sabbath we choose to ignore daily demands of production and consumption and make the time to just be. Sabbath time can become a time of countercultural resistance. Sabbath can become a time to rest and restore the soul. This sermon podcast begins with a reading of Deuteronomy 5:14 by Rev. Kathleen Rolenz.

Little "t" Truths, Merrill Aldrich, July 30, 2023
30/07/2023 Duração: 25minExplore how specific, even ordinary, encounters can be a powerful window to spirit or to universal truths. Historically, both Unitarianism and Universalism come from theological arguments that had a certain level of abstraction, but more recently we seem to have a more grounded definition for these terms. They are no less powerful, though, for naming little "t" truths.
