President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, but it took two and a half years for the news to travel to Texas. Juneteenth is a celebration of the day the news arrived. What does this important part of our history tell us? And how does it connect to our lives as Unitarian Universalists?
How can we live fully in the present, when global warming, war, and a variety of threats to our well-being affect us every day?

Julia Ward Howe's life was full by any measure wife of an activist doctor, mother of five children, author of Battle Hymn of the Republic, poet, suffragist, abolitionist, feminist, pacifist, and Unitarian. A new biography reveals just how difficult it was to juggle all these roles.
We like to point out how our faith tradition has evolved over hundreds of years. Today we'll explore how faith changes over a single lifetime, with some examples from mine. Chalice Lighting Remarks by Karen Patch
Dr. Kerry Noonan will talk about the commonalities among related spiritual movements that have emerged in the last thirty years, variously called Earth-Based Spiritualities or Neopaganism. She will also look at the distinctive features that differentiate them from each other, what these traditions have to teach us today, and how they dovetail with Unitarian Universalist principles. Dr. Noonan earned a Ph.D. in Folklore and Mythology from UCLA, has been following the path of the Goddess in earth-based spirituality for almost twenty years, and is ordained through Temple of Diana, a feminist religious organization dedicated to women and the Goddess. She teaches at UCLA and Cal State Northridge.
We all know that we need to save the Earth. But we also have to consume it to survive. We'll consider ethical eating as featured in the Spring 2007 UU World and in The Omnivore's Dilemma, by Michael Pollan.
