“Transcendentalism, Thinking Big”
In the early 1800s, our faith was forever changed by a group of radical thinkers, the transcendentalists. This Sunday, we will look at a few of those characters and see how our faith today is shaped by their brilliant minds and open hearts. Direct link to service.

“A House of Hope: The Promise of Progressive Religion” - Thurs. Aug. 27 6:30-8:00pm - Eddy Room John Buehrens & Rebecca Ann Parker offer an inspiring introduction to liberal theology. The book explores how liberal and progressive religious traditions—particularly Unitarian Universalism—offer a theology focused on love, justice, and human dignity, rather than dogma or fear.

“The Dignity of Difference: How to Avoid the Clash of Civilizations” - Thurs. Sept. 24 6:30-8:00pm - Eddy Room Author Jonathan Sacks argues that humanity must reject the inevitable "clash of civilizations" by reframing religious differences. He asserts that globalism's ultimate challenge is to celebrate diversity rather than seeking universal uniformity, transforming potential religious conflicts into opportunities for mutual respect.

Knowing where you come from is invaluable. While Unitarian Universalism is not a Christian tradition today, we did grow from Christian roots. This Sunday, we dig into the roots of UU Christianity and how many UUs hold Christian beliefs today.
