Are we our bodies or do we inhabit them? And what difference might our answer to that make? As we struggle against those who demand control of other people's bodies, how might our theology and understanding of all of our bodies help us respond?
Just what is a Religious Naturalist and why does it matter? Join us as we explore what it means to understand the whole of the universe, including us, as holy.
Since Rev Don preached several times about the “Widening the Circle” report in the summer of 2020, there has been much talk in UU circles of the need for new, liberating theologies. In this sermon, Rev Don calls us back to our Universalist roots, and how, on this Sunday honoring both Father’s Day and Juneteenth, we can celebrate and reclaim the freedom, reason, tolerance, and love that our Universalist faith represents.
Join us as we share in the Sunday service from the 2022 Unitarian Universalist Association General Assembly shared with Unitarian Universalists around the country and around the world.

Join us as we share this recorded service from UUA president, Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray. We're all connected: an interdependent whole. Therefore, says Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray, "covenant is our religious response to our fundamental interdependence." We make promises about how to be together, and how to be in the world. We also fall short of honoring those promises, inviting us to repair and strengthen the strands of community. The choice to mend broken strands of the web is an act of faithfulness.

In the past several years, Black writers such as Ibram Kendi, Ijeoma Oluo, and Adrienne Maree Brown have given us valuable advice on becoming actively anti-racist in our personal lives and our communities. As Unitarian Universalists continue to deepen their commitments, and their actions, toward a more just and equitable world, Jen Simon reflects on some necessary conditions UU congregations need to nurture in order to do this work in community.
