Denazification and Cult Deprogramming - Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Church

27 December 2020 at 04:56

After World War II, the Allies instituted a program of removing Nazi ideology from Germany and Austria. Combined with modern research about the most effective ways of saving a loved one from a cult, we can begin the work of rebuilding our society with the values of Beloved Community.

The Story We Will Tell - Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Church

27 December 2020 at 04:54

As Adrienne Maree Brown says, “all organizing is science fiction”. As we organize for social justice individually and as a congregation, we have to be clear about the story we want to tell about our collective future. If we focus only on what we are against, we can be pulled in many directions AND never get to be innovative about how to reach the beloved community. Join guest preacher, Heather Vickery, in imagining a new story together.

About Heather:

Heather Vickery is the Coordinator for Congregational Activism for the UU Service Committee and the UU College of Social Justice – she works with congregations to do their justice work more effectively and faithfully while connecting with other folks in the UU Universe like state action networks and UUA regional staff. She is the Treasurer of the newly incorporated Beyond Bond and Legal Defense Fund and an active member of the Boston Immigration Justice Accompaniment Network also known as just BEYOND. This is also Heather’s last of four years serving as the President of the Board of the First Parish in Malden.

Content of Character - Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Church

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King famously shared his dream where his children would live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. In 2021, what does “character” mean?

Join us as we reflect on this moment and what it means about democracy in the United States.

The Perfect Body and Ladder - Sermons-First Unitarian Universalist Society of San Francisco

8 December 2020 at 00:17
β€œThe Perfect Body and Ladder" (December 6, 2020) Worship Service

The second sermon in a series on our bodies as part of our religious journeys, that is to say of how we find and make meaning in this life.

Poet and Movement-founder Sonya Renee Taylor writes and speaks and encourages others to do so about our relations to our bodies and one another. But more so she ties it to a larger notion, a spiritual stumbling block, a dangerous construct that wise folks from the Dalai Lama to Jesus have warned against -- Taylor calls it the imaginary ladder.  And how it hurts and distracts us from what is important and healing and life saving.

6 December 2020 at 20:34
Rev. Meg Barnhouse's sermon delivered on December 6, 2020. The election is over and our president elect is calling for unity. How do we do that on a family scale? On a community scale? How do you build relationships with people who you see more clearly now? How do you rebuild relationships with people for whom you may have lost some respect? Can you just move forward without addressing the harm that has been done?

Can we bring what’s at the heart of these gatherings out into the world in new ways? What might be required of us to do so?

Healing does not equal cure - First Unitarian Universalist Church of Austin

23 November 2020 at 00:00
Assistant Minister Rev. Chris Jimmerson's sermon delivered on November 22, 2020. Often, we can have a tendency to equate healing with being cured - like when we take a prescribed regimen of a medication and then get better. For trauma and other emotional wounds though, healing is more of an ongoing process, sometimes lifelong, whether individually or socially. We will explore embodied ways of approaching such healing.

Falling in love with what is - First Unitarian Universalist Church of Austin

15 November 2020 at 20:55
Rev. Meg Barnhouse's sermon delivered on November 15, 2020. Both Eckhart Tolle and Byron Katie, two wisdom teachers of the current age, say that we need to see reality clearly and be present with it in the moment. "We suffer when our thoughts argue with reality," Byron Katie writes. Can this view be compatible with longing for a better world?

β€œRebuilding Trust" (November 8, 2020) Worship Service

Great damage has been done to social trust in recent years.

Science, Imagination, and Magic - First Unitarian Universalist Church of Austin

8 November 2020 at 20:55
Rev. Meg Barnhouse's sermon delivered on November 8, 2020. A lot of us have experiences with things that are mysterious to us. Can they all be explained by science? Maybe not yet. Do we sometimes behave as if we believe in things which, in our head, we don't really believe in?
