After assuming the papacy in 2013, Pope Francis made an apostolic exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium (The Joy of the Gospel), in which he called for a “revolution of tenderness.” This Sunday, we will explore the foundations of such a revolution and ask, “how could our lives be different if we bravely choose to be more tender?”
Please join us this Sunday for a discussion of what is meant by the phrase “Divine Feminine” and how reclaiming this approach to our religious or spiritual quests can help sustain us and give us hope in these difficult and troubling times.
This Sunday, Dr. Lynne McNeill, from USU’s Folklore program, will be discussing how faith, belief, rationality, and religion are viewed by folklorists. Just a reminder: the 4th-Sunday lecture series time is slightly longer (at 1 hr 15 min) than our regular services.
This Sunday we will look at one of our most visible symbols, the flaming chalice. We will explore the history of this symbol, its meaning and how the meaning has evolved over time. Happy new year.
Join us this Sunday Oct 23rd for a discussion of Karen Armstrong’s book “A History of God”. Armstrong explores the origins of the three monotheistic religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam with discussion on how their concept of God was born and how it evolved and was distorted over time. As part of the 4th Sunday Lecture series, this service will be 15 min longer to allow for a lively and provocative discussion on how we view “God” as Unitarian Universalists, when we have members that include atheist, secular humanist, Buddhist, pagan, and Christian.
