The second installment of MidAmerica’s Sermon of the Month series is now available. The sermon is from Reverend Sharon K. Dittmar, and is titled “Human Condition”:

American society has acculturated us to ideas about how our bodies should look and function. There are norms for everything from weight to brain functioning. Many of us spend a good deal of time trying to meet these norms in defiance of our beautiful diversity, the many ways human bodies grow, change, adapt, and function. Please join me for a sermon that uplifts and celebrates our bodies and humanity as we find it.

While these sermons were developed primarily for small fellowships, congregations of any size are welcome to use them. Also, although the sermons become available once a month, they can be used any time. You can access recordings of the sermons, PDFs, and lists of recommended readings and hymns by contacting Phil Lund at plund@uua.org.
