Unitarian Universalism is the result of courageous acts of religious imagination. Our tradition went from looking a lot like other mainline Protestant denominations to the vibrant and evolving religion that we are today. Rev. Bob will talk about a few of the amazing people who helped us get here.

Whether we are inspired by science, ancient stories, or

“Stillness”
The Rev. Angela Herrera
In her poem "Today," Mary Oliver writes, “I’m taking the day off. Quiet as a feather. I hardly move though really I’m traveling / a terrific distance. Stillness. One of the doors / into the temple.” Today we’ll look through that “door,” in an introduction to this month’s theological theme.

“A Theology of Forgiveness”
The Rev. Bob LaVallee
Unitarian Universalism has many strengths: deep inclusiveness, an explicit call to work for
justice, and the encouragement of personal pursuit of meaning and purpose. However, our
faith does not have a well-articulated theology of forgiveness and redemption. How can we
do better, and develop resilience and connection within ourselves and our communities?

“The Promise and the Practice (BIPOC Voices)”
The Rev. Dr. Rebekah A. Savage
The Promise and the Practice is a celebration of our shared commitment to live into a new
chapter in the story of our faith. This worship centers the voices and stories of Black,
Indigenous, and other People of Color UUs, calling upon the lived experience of BIPOC
religious professionals as sacred text. It’s a turning moment; a choice to listen deeply to the
stories in our movement that have not been heard—or taken to heart—by all UUs.
