ON BEING BORN AGAIN . . . AND AGAIN
Rev. Jessica Rodela
Music: Special guest!
On the occasion of my 46th birthday, I ponder several theories of personality in light of our Unitarian Universalist theologies, and whether our identity is bound by our bodies, assumed by our five senses, determined by our minds, or maintained by our memories.
SUMMER TIME AND BEING
Fiona Heath
Service Leader: Marc Xuereb
Music: Boyd McDonald
It’s summer time and the living is easy. How do we let go of our busy, cluttered ways of living and move towards simply being part of the world and all its wonders? Fiona Heath, member and UU seminary student, will share some ideas.
MEMORIES, HOPES AND CONVERSATIONS:
A DIALOGUE ABOUT OUR NATIONAL IDENTITY
Jessica Bayne
Service Leader: Rhoda Riemer
Music: Bruce Torrie
Identity can have many dimensions: history, values, actions, principles, purpose, mission. Every organization is an identity in motion, moving through the world, trying to make a difference. Let us join together to share our congregational memories, to give voice to the work we hope to do as Unitarians, and to explore the yearning for a Canadian UU identity.
IDEAS: BIG AND LITTLE
Steve Higgins
Service Leader: Craig Beam
Music: Mag Horman
The Pharisees live in a realm of Little Ideas. They have erected a black and white doctrinal structure based on certain social conventions. The Big Ideas world is the realm of Faith, Love, and Compassion - a simple and frightening place that requires us to embrace complexity. In Buddhist terms, this is the real of Tantra.
