Rev. Alex Holt
Today the sun rose in red states and blue states alike. Today many are
in despair and disbelief in those states. How do we own our feelings? How do we
as religious liberals respond to our fellow citizens not as the enemy but as
seekers of happiness?

"The Politics of God" October 23, 2016
Rev. David Bloom
Does God care who wins elections? If so, what would be the criteria for God's judgment? Or, can we even conjecture that there is a God that is conscious of human behavior and therefore interested in affecting it...or even able to? A favorite speaker at Westside, Rev. Bloom is an American Baptist minister with more than thirty years of ecumenical leadership experience in Seattle on social justice.

"Higly Holy" October 9, 2016
Rev. Anya Drew Johnston
The notion of atonement is inherently religious, but not at all exclusive to Jewish or Christian practices. Are we to forgive? To make reparations? To become whole? Today I will ask Unitarians and Universalists to consider an approach to atonement that is both rational and heartfelt and, perhaps, the entire reason for religion of any kind.
