Finding Refuge: Sanctuary - Sunday March 1, 2020
on March 2nd, 2020
The idea of sanctuary in many ways goes against our natural human inclinations. Sanctuary is an ideal we strive for. Our English word comes from the Latin word “Sanctuarium,” from sanctus, holy, and arium, a container. As an aquarium contains aqua, water, a sanctuary contains sancti, the holy ones. So though we call the building the sanctuary, what is important, what is holy, is that which it... Read More

Turning Toward Love - Little Women - Feb. 9, 2020
on February 12th, 2020
If you do any research into Louisa May Alcott’s novel Little Women the question which comes up over and over is “Why?” Why has a book about four young white women in 19th century Concord, Massachusetts, continued to be read and admired for 150 years? It has been translated into over 50 languages, adapted for plays and movies, including the most recent, directed by Greta Guerwig and up for 6 Osca... Read More

Turning Toward Light - Just Mercy - Feb. 2, 2020
on February 2nd, 2020
People sometimes characterize Unitarian Universalism as a religion where you can believe anything you want. But that is not true. We may not have creedal statements to which we must assent, but we do have some shared beliefs and the first of them is that humankind is good. Read the whole sermon here;... Read More

A Delightful New Year - January 5, 2020
on January 8th, 2020
With the news of fires raging in Australia and the assassination of General Soleimani in Iraq, I wondered if a sermon on keeping Christmas in our hearts was still what I needed to say to today, still what you might need to hear. But I think it is. For the Christmas spirit Scrooge found, the Christmas spirit we need to hold onto, isn’t about jollity and games and feasting, though those may be par... Read More

Hope from Heartbreak - December 8, 2019
on December 9th, 2019
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." The philosopher George Santayana wrote that aphorism, and I’ve always taken it to mean the grand sweep of history – remember the cause of wars, the downfalls of empires, the seeds of revolution, but as I was thinking about Scrooge’s encounter with the Ghost of Christmas Past I realized that those words apply to our own pasts as well...

Touched by Grace - November 17, 2019
on November 20th, 2019
Do you ever just know something is for you? In March of 2018, I was scrolling through the Clergy Chicks group on Facebook (yes, there is such a group) when a post jumped out. A clergywoman I didn’t know had written, “Hey all, I was in this program and it was phenomenal! It is across ages, denominations, and across the US and Canada. Check it out.” And below was a link to a post from the Sister... Read More
