Each Sunday, our Order of Service includes the words, “During worship, we may speak of God, mystery, the spirit of life, love, or the ground of being. Our membership includes atheists, agnostics, and believers in many kinds of divinity. Whoever you are, wherever you are on your spiritual journey, welcome...” How do we do it? And why do we call it “worship?”

Why do ancient Greek and Roman gods belong to “mythology,” while other gods belong to “religion?” What’s the difference? And if someone says all religion is myth, should UUs get mad?

Our multi-religious approach to religion and faith provides many possibilities to understand ourselves and our place in this life. Listening with deep intention to our inner voice allows us to discover our personal wisdom and truth. Yet truths emanate from both our lived experiences and the shared experiences of others. We explore ways of deep listening in our search for truth and meaning.

With so many headlines and heartbreaking notes around hurricanes, floods, fires, and the intersectionality of justice concerns we care about related to climate change and environment, we are invited to explore light within the darkness. If we believe that our work is Loving the World we must hold the All of it. We must pay attention in new ways and in deeper levels. We are "refugia" in this stormy moment. There is great beauty and tender joy in holding the suffering of our current realities. We are not living in a challenging Era - we are Living into a New Era that is challenging our Loving.
Our Pulpit Guest this Sunday is Joan Brown, a Franciscan Sister from the Rochester, MN community, who is living and working in Albuquerque, where she serves as the Executive Director of New Mexico Interfaith Power and Light (NM IPL). NM IPL is part of a national faith-based organization working to address climate justice.
Music: Chalice Choir, with Nicia Rae and Susan Peck
