Some of you may have heard Garrison Keillor’s Thanksgiving story in which Unitarians are featured. Somebody needs to find out what Keillor’s experience is with Unitarians. He mentions us frequently and, I might add, usually, his comments (whether complimentary or critical) are right on the...Sermon | By Bruce Clear | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: 4th Principle (Truth & Meaning), Diversity, Doubt, Humanism, Science, Truth

In the summer of 1989, I attended the annual gathering of Unitarian Universalists at the General Assembly at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. Yale is right downtown, and it was my custom to get out of the hotel and university setting for most of my meals. One morning, as I was in town...Sermon | By Sara Campbell | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Anti-Oppression, Change, Oppression, Privilege, Race/Ethnicity, Anti-Oppression

I want to tell you about something that happened a few years ago on a Sunday after services. The congregation I was serving then was gathered for a congregational meeting....Sermon | By Sara Campbell | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Connections, Mystery, Presence, Spirituality

In the Unitarian Universalist Church we find inspiration from many different sources. The inspiration for today’s sermon comes from a joke. You may have heard it: Q: What’s the difference between cats and dogs? A: Dogs look at people and say, “They feed us. They give us shelter. They take care...Sermon | By Christopher Buice | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Balance, Buddhism, Diversity, Unitarianism, Unity, Universalism

"Whatsoever you wish that others do unto you, do so to them; for this is the Law of the Prophets."—Matthew 7:12 I should probably get one thing clear at the outset: I don’t claim to know much about stability, much less to possess it. In fact, when I think about what I’ve experienced in life,...Sermon | By John A. Buehrens | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Change, Commitment, Grace, Strength

I have a story to tell you, about the less-than-triumphal first appearance I made in a pulpit. I was a first-year seminarian, doing my field work at the old First Parish in Lexington, Massachusetts. When they invited me to preach my first sermon on such an important day as Palm Sunday, I was...Sermon | By John A.

When we remember those whom we have loved and lost, help us to remember also, O God, how great a privilege is human loving, and that not to have loved at all would have been loss far greater still. Amen. “What’s a soul?” Not a question Unitarian Universalists ask very often. We are more likely...Sermon | By John A.

According to economist Juliet Schor, author of The Overworked American, having the chance to spend time not doing anything in particular is less common than it used to be. In her book, Schor documents the increase of time spent working—both paid employment and work around the house—over a...Sermon | By Cathy Bowers | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Power, Purpose, Self-Care, Work, Worth

About twenty years ago, I read a book that I've never discussed with anyone, but which has stayed with me and intrigued me all this time. Titled Religions of America and edited by Leo Rosten, it is an attempt to describe as clearly and as concisely as possible the variety of religious faiths in...Sermon | By Bruce A Bode | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Balance, Growth, Humanism, Science, Truth

I am a third generation Unitarian Universalist. This is by no means a record. Even in this congregation there are families whose Unitarian Universalist history goes much further back, and in New England, where I grew up, there were people who were fifth, sixth, even seventh generation....Sermon | By Rebecca F Benner | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Generations, History, Identity, Unitarianism, Universalism
