What to Know about Good and Evil While Being Trumped Anyone who has seen the new Star Wars movie, the Last Jedi, knows that the difference between good and evil is not simple. One can not look for Good in only the left or right of politics. Cannot find right in only the top or bottom of class. Evil is not just seen in the black or white of race. Choosing Love and Courage over Hate and Fear is the religion of our times. And such times it requires us to be able to see the multi-dimensionality of Love and Justice. |

What We Believe All too often we characterize Unitarian Universalism as a faith that allows us to believe whatever we want. While we do make a lot of room for individual perspectives, we hold certain beliefs in common as well. Today I'll explain what they are. This sermon is a good introduction for newcomers and new members. Newcomer orientation takes place this Sunday as well, 1230-130, with Judith and Ofelia Lachtman. Invite a friend! |

What Went Wrong? "Any deed that any human being has ever committed, however horrible," writes psychologist Philip Zimbardo in "The Lucifer Effect," "is possible for any of us -- under the right or wrong situational circumstances." Zimbardo gained this insight from close analysis of his own Stanford Prison Experiment, the abuses at Abu Ghraib, and other horrors of humanity. There is hope in his grim observations. |

What Women Really Want
What do Women really want? A minister - who is a man - takes a hard look at the denomination he serves and notices that it is very quickly becoming less and less by men, with men, for men; and looks at the trajectory of vision that is coming out of our general culture - also coming to terms with how the white / male dominate perspective has some serious humble pie to swallow if it really wants to understand freedom and justice for all people. This is a sermon about coming to terms with 'What Women Really Want.'

What's Doing? Our nation and world face a very critical moment in our history. A juncture of faultline proportions is jarring our economy, our cultural/political life, and religious/philosophical perspectives. This moment calls for life decisions and action in both personal and community matters. Most of us sense this and want to act to better our world. Yet at the same time we experience a certain fear and confusion as to how we can creatively engage our life situations. How and where is it all going and what can we do about it? This morning's service will attempt to clarify what's happening and how we can assist one another to shape our lives for the better. |
