Love Thy Neighbor

Viv Monahan

December 12, 2012

The ancient Golden Rule “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” exists in some form in virtually every religious, ethical, cultural, and philosophical tradition. It is also familiar to us as “love thy neighbor as thyself”. There are no illegal human beings, just a common human family. Right now in the United States, millions of people live here without documentation. They are being detained and deported by the hundreds of thousands, treated as criminals and not allowed the due process even our worst criminals receive. As loving people of faith and reason, Unitarian Universalists are called to witness this injustice and apply the Golden Rule. What if it were happening to me? What if it were happening to you? This service is provided by our Congregation’s Social Justice Committee.

Since moving into our congregational home 2+ years ago we have welcomed many new people. Our programs and services have deepened and broadened. What is this transition we are experiencing called pastoral to program size? What does it mean for us as individuals and as a united people?

Gratitude is More Than a Thank You Letter

Rev. Peg Morgan

November 18, 2012

A new non-fiction book “The End of Your Life Book Club” shares conversations Will Schwalbe had with his mom, Mary, after her diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Reading countless books together during her last two years, they explored life, both universal and personal. Today’s sermon will share some of the wisdom and humor they mined in their reflections on the writings of authors both classical and modern.

Doctrine of Discovery: Pagans in the Promised Land

Rev. Peg Morgan

November 11, 2012

This year our Unitarian Universalist General Assembly met in Arizona, and focused on justice issues. Delegates voted overwhelmingly to repudiate the Doctrine of Discovery - the premise that European Christian explorers who "discovered" other lands had the authority to claim those lands and subdue or enslave the residents. Today we will learn about where that Doctrine came from and what it has to do with our 21st century lives.

Standing on the Side of Love

Rev. Peg Morgan

October 21, 2012

There is a deep relationship between Love and Justice. And that relationship has been a teaching that runs deep in our faith tradition. Let’s reflect on how inseparable they are as we prepare to fill out our ballot to Approve Ref. 74 and marriage equality.
