Welcome!

This site is offers opportunities for spiritual exploration to members of my congregation, though all are welcome. Look for books, articles and other sources that I am reading in preparation for upcoming sermons; Bible study reflections; follow-up on previous worship services; and other resources.

I encourage you to respond to what you read and to each other as a way of working your way towards deeper understanding.

My Pet Peeve and More Access to UU History

I thought I'd take this time and space to acknowledge a ministerial pet-peeve of mine. This is the misconception by many that Unitarian Universalism doesn't have its own theology. The truth is that it has, I think, a rich and life-giving theology, with which our own personal theologies experience varying degrees of synchronicity. So, I'm on a mission to have folks begin to understand that this wasn't a denomination that suddenly appeared in the 1960's and that throws up it's hands saying, "Whatever...it's all good." To that end, I've been trying to introduce resources for exploring the richness of our tradition both historically and theologically.

My colleague, Rev. Thom Belote, has generously posted lectures from a UU History seminar he put together for lay leaders as a part of the Midewest leadership school. I invite you to read a couple and let me know if they bring up questions for you.

Rev. Belote's lectures can be found via his blog: www.revthom.blogspot.com.
