Speaker: Rev. Marcus Liefert

Where the Light Shines Through ?

Have you ever had your heart-broken in such a way that instead of breaking apart, it breaks open? When the heart breaks open like this, we often can’t help but follow its call to engage the world. What happens when our vision emerges from the broken places in our lives and in our community?

Visions of Paradise ?

All religious traditions have some sort of eschatology, visions of where we originally came from and where we will ultimately end up. What eschatologies have we inherited from our wider culture and our UU tradition and why does it matter? This Sunday we explore how these visions shape our moral imagination.

Preparing to be Busy ?

In a culture awash with people suffering from chronic busyness, who has time for church? What makes this community worth your precious time?

Nothing Left at the Door ?

The social psychologist Mahzarin Banaji tells us that the mind is a “difference seeking machine.” What are the obstacles we face in following the age-old wisdom of welcoming the stranger?

The Thread You Follow ?

The spiritual path, or the journey of any human life, cannot be neatly drawn on a map. As I enter into this community, I want to share with you the thread that has brought me to you. With each of us following our unique threads, what holds us together as Unitarian Universalists?

The Two Hundred Year Present ?

Over the past century, we have experienced more rapid change than at any other time in the history of our species. As the next century promises even greater rates of change, who are we called to be and to become as a community and a faith tradition?
