7/20/2024 – Reflections on the Loss of the 7 Principles & 6 Sources

For July, the worship committee presents a service focused around a group discussion of the rift in the UUA, and particularly the article 2 vote; the grief associated with these events, and our path forward. The reading is to be the 6 sources and 7 principles. For the homily we ask 3 speakers (Joyce Kinnear, Rev. Twinkle Manning, Rev. Todd Eklof)) to give short talks that inspire reflection and comments. We hope to help people acknowledge the reality of what has happened and provide a positive vision for the future.

Renewing Our Free and Resp. Search for Truth & Meaning by Odell Havsdotter

We will examine what it means to renew and regenerate our commitment to our fourth principle. What does it mean to be free in our search, and what does it mean to be responsible in our search? There will be opportunities for attendees to share their perspectives on this topic with others.  

5/18/2024 – A Life Well Lived

Bob Simoni lead May’s NAUA Community Worship service which is entitled “A Life Well Lived”, a phrase which you might hear used at a Memorial Service for someone who led an exemplary life. The sermon will discuss what are some of the significant events of a person’s life that would lead one to say it was a “life well lived”, and whether it’s something we should aspire to have happen at the end of our lives.

05/14/24 – Color Blindness: Part of the Problem or Part of the Solution? -Dr. Terry Anderson

Color Blindness: Part of the Problem or Part the Solution?

In this NAUA Academy class Terry Anderson overviews the controversial idea that color blindness is the best way to equality and to combat racism.  

The argument was fueled by Coleman Hughe’s Ted Talk, the controversy that arose from his talk and his new book – The End of Race Politics.

We also look at Sheena Mason’s Theory of Racelessness.

And finaly we examine those who believe that we can’t just wish racism away by attempting to ignore it.
