Due to a slight shift in ministerial focus, the three-part sermon series publicized in our eNews last week based on the book Turning Point: Essays on a New Unitarian Universalism has now been condensed into a two-part reflection (this will make more sense if you were present on June 4, and if you weren’t, you can read what was presented in our online sermon archive).
Our worship service for this Sunday will feature a message titled “The iChurch Revealed.” You can read more about Turning Point here, as well as purchase a copy. There will also be copies available to borrow in the church office. We hope you will join us for worship and participate in the discussions these reflections and this book will undoubtedly provoke.
“These essays collected by Frederic Muir place Unitarian Universalism in the context of any good story: a beginning, a middle, and an end or a telos. If the splendid individualism of Emerson is the beginning, and the end is the Beloved Community, what needs to happen in order to achieve that end? Muir and his fellow essayists call for a renewed and renewing story about how people know Unitarian Universalism. He says the language of covenant – which claims, “As free congregations we promise to one another our mutual trust and support” – represents the re-storied way forward.”
