Presented by the Adult Programs Team. 

Join us for a group discussion interacting with the words, thoughts, and theology of Unitarian Universalists both modern and historical!

Each Sunday we will engage the words and thoughts of a different Unitarian Universalist leader reflecting on it’s resonance for us as individuals and Unitarian Universalists now. No preparation necessary! Just bring your interest and your willingness to engage. A drop-in class where you can attend one session or all and still engage thoroughly. In-person. 

March 3: Sofía Betancourt: We will engage with the words of the current UUA president as she engages topics such as liberation, facing white supremacy culture, the journey of redemption, and “this great experiment in communal salvation.”

March 10: Thandeka: We will explore Unitarian Universalism, a religious tradition not based on a particular creed, paying particular attention to the space this gives us to have different beliefs as a community, a process which Thandeka calls “loving beyond belief.”

March 17: James Luther Adams: What do our UU ancestors have to say about threats to the U.S. system of democracy from Americans?

In a time when industrialists organized to get the United States to fight on the side of Germany during WWII, James Luther Adams was a Unitarian minister who bound religious theory and practice tightly together, working diligently for over half a century on race relations, civil liberties, and housing problems. He traveled frequently to Washington D.C. to consult with Congressmen and, "participated in precinct organization, becoming a doorbell ringer and also consulting with party leaders in the back rooms."

March 24: William F. Schulz: We will explore how the creedless nature of Unitarian Universalism allows us to come closer to a discovery of our own truth about the world. By using a variety of lenses to understand and experience it (religious traditions, the sciences, art, mysticism and love), we are better able to appreciate and comprehend “the complex majesty of Creation,” (Finding Time and Other Delicacies, p. 47).

April 7: Sophia Lyon Fahs: Why teach religion in the age of Science?

Sophia Lyons Fah made it her life's work to explain that Science and Religion are not antithetical. Each discipline offers ways to describe the world we live in. Each is incomplete in itself, representing but a part of our human potential. Science and religion need one another as partners. Science and religion need one another as partners to describe what gives our lives meaning.
