Imperfect World Given by our minister, Pam
Gross In these anxious times, we have
been inundated with expert advice on ways to reduce
our anxiety by making the best choices. It seems we live
in a world that thrives on the idea of perfection. We are
assured not only that it exists, but that it is personally
attainable. In a faith without The Perfect Answer—without creeds,
a faith that affirms the individual search for truth and
meaning, as well the inherent worth and dignity of every
person—a faith which values diversity—what does ‘perfect’
really look like? Oct. 12 Creating the Church of
Our Dreams: Promise vs. Reality. Given by our minister, Pam Gross Ours is a non-creedal faith,
which means that we don’t organize ourselves around a
unanimously accepted creed or statement of faith.
Unitarian Universalists choose to gather around a covenant, which
is basically promises we make...to ourselves, one another,
our congregation...and as a congregation—to other UU
congregations. A covenant is about how we will behave
with one another, how we will support each other on our
spiritual journeys. So how are we doing? This is
Association Sunday: a special offering will be taken for support of
Unitarian Universalist Association initiatives. Oct. 19 “Todos Somos Otros: One Quaker’s Vision of a
Culture of Peace” Given by Gray Cox Dominant conceptions of life
and society obscure peace in our culture, leading us to
think of it statically and in terms of what it is not, rather
than what it is. Alternative conceptions of peace, which are
not conflict centered, can be found in Quaker practices of
communal discernment as well as in other traditions.
In this talk Gray Cox will sketch some key elements of
this alternative culture in which peace is understood
positively, as a verb. Gray is a professor in social theory and
peace studies at College of the Atlantic and is one of the
cofounders of the Quaker Institute for the Future. Oct. 26 The Gifts of Hospice Given by Chris LeGore “Only when it was time to
register my mother with Hospice, did I discover how local hospice
organizations actually work. How I wish that I had known about them
years earlier; it would have been a great comfort to me as I
watched my mother age and grow ill.” Chris will briefly explain what
hospice is and the incredibly skilled staff who work in the
field. She will share this deeply spiritual process, and
the gifts she received as a caregiver during the last month
of her mother’s life. Nov. 4 Let Peace Begin With Me Given by our minister, Pam
Gross Lao- pointed toward one’s own
heart as the foundation of all peace in the world.
Becoming a peace activist starts with one’s own behavior. This
is the foundation of building a “culture of peace”. How do we
affirm peacemaking as a part of our individual and
everyday lives? (This is the first of a sermon series on
peacemaking based on the “Peacemaking Pledge”.
