What Is a UU?

At-One-Ment, a sermon for the Days of Awe - September 28, 2014
on September 29th, 2014
The unkind word, but also the kind word not spoken; the work badly done, but also the work not picked up; the actions we approved and carried out but also the actions we didn’t approve but which were carried out for us by the institutions in which we live – our families, churches, schools, towns, and nations. All these, those we have done and those we have leftundone, rip the fabric of our lives. ...  Read More

The Love that Does Justice - June 1, 2014
on June 4th, 2014
Power and privilege have been valued in every society throughout human history.  These values offer a framework for viewing the world in a way which prevents morning from dawning.  Through the lens of valuing power and privilege, we cannot see others as our sisters and brothers.  Even the best meaning of us may get blinded by this framework.  (To read the whole sermon click here.)  ...  Read More

Isn’t that our prayer as well?  And the Psalmist ties gaining a heart of wisdom to remembering the brevity of life."  To read the whole sermon, click here:...  Read More
