Sunday, May 20:
Why Unitarian
Universalists Don't Have Saints - Rev. Bruce Marshall - Do
you aspire to be a saint? If so, you might want to look for
another religious community. We don't do sainthood well. This
became clear to me thanks to a ministerial colleague who
recommended an essay called
On Gandhi
by George Orwell (who also wrote
1984)
Orwell argues that we should not try to be Gandhi, that we
should not try to be saints-but that we should follow the
rockier path of full engagement with life as it is. In that
argument, we encounter what I take to be the essence of
Unitarian Universalism. Today is Soup Sunday; the Annual Meeting
follows the service.
Sunday, May 20 at noon, - Congregational Meeting
to vote on our covenant,
by-laws changes, and a slate of candidates. POC Linda
Powell 301-632-9947

Sunday, May 27:
The Best that Love Can Be
- Rev. Diane
Teichert, Paint Branch Unitarian Universalist Church As more
and more Unitarian Universalists come to embrace the idea of
marriage equality, how is it that we can speak about it as
people of faith, and how can we converse with family, friends
and co-workers whose religion may teach against it?
Rev. Diane Teichert has served nearly three
years as the minister of Paint Branch Unitarian Universalist
Church in Adelphi. She previously served congregations in
Weymouth, Canton (for ten years) and Bedford, Massachusetts and
was the founding coordinator of the Internship Clearinghouse at
the Unitarian Universalist Association. Prior to preparing for
UU, she was a labor and community organizer and worked on the
neighborhood, city, state and national levels.
We will share the cash in the offering with
Top Banana.
Today is a nUUsletter deadline.
