Featuring discussion of the work of David Ferene, Theophilus Lindsey, and Joseph Priestley.
 
You are welcome to bring your own brown-bag supper for pre-workshop socializing at 6 p.m. before we get started. Childcare available on request. Sign up in Forbes Hall at the LRE table after Sunday services.
Long, Strange Trip: A UU History - Part 6: Unitarian Universalism

Adult Programs invites you to join us for the conclusion of our "Long Strange Trip" film screenings about the history of Unitarians and Universalists.

Wednesday, October 15 at 7 p.m. in Forbes Hall – Part 6: Unitarian Universalism

This film tells the story of the century-long “courtship” between Unitarianism and Universalism as a classic love story - “boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl.” It details how they “courted” each other, sought out other partners, and finally consummated the merger. It discusses how Humanism helped bring the two movements closer together, and the role that Liberal Religious Education, especially Sophia Lyon Fahs, had on laying the groundwork for the merger. It then follows Unitarian Universalism through the 50 years of its existence and ends with some personal comments on what the future might hold.

More information about the series can be found at www.uufilms.com

You are welcome to bring your own brown-bag supper for pre-workshop socializing at 6pm before the screening.

Longings of the Heart

The American Heritage Dictionary defines ministry as 1 (a) the act of serving; ministration, and (b) one that serves as a means; instrumentally. Ministry then is service, and ministers are people who serve. But there's more. The second definition reads the profession, duties, and services of a minister of religion. So a minister is one who serves, but serves in a religious way.

Looking to the Growing Edge

Black Elk shared a vision of the world as a sacred hoop within which were sheltered all the children of one mother and one father. This Mother's Day service explores the gift of life, of hope, and of care that we each are to one another. Come celebrate with us. Music: Julie Millett, soprano

Lost in His Freedom, Man Pursues the Shadow of His Images

Second in the W.H. Auden series, I will invite your consideration of how our freedom may become license. This is the Sunday nearest the anniversary of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Human freedom has sometimes resulted in inhumane license.

Lost in Translation
Have you ever been 'called' to something important but missed the 'call' because you didn't understand what was being asked? What was at stake? Being able to hear, understand and interpret what the world is asking of us is of critical importance if we are to figure out how to become integral and necessary to the future.
