| UU History: Free Religion During my 2006 sabbatical, I spent a week looking through the Harvard Divinity School Library for original nineteenth and early twentieth century books by Unitarians and Universalists. My research led me to an inspirational minister and an important organization that helped shape our religious tradition today. In Rev. Johnson’s life and in the papers presented to the Free Religious Association, key religious questions were given shape. Understanding these questions through their eyes can give us insights into our answers for today. These two sermons (March 18 and March 25) explore those historical roots and their contemporary connections. |

| Great Gambles I am not, by nature, a gambler. Taking chances, betting on long-shots holds little appeal. Indeed, I’ve yet to buy my first lottery ticket and I’ve never risked more than a roll of pennies on a poker game. My rule of thumb for investing is simple: a bird in hand is worth more than two in the bush. But while it may behoove us to exercise caution in money management, it may not serve us quite so well in other aspects of life. When, and on what, is it legitimate to gamble? |

| How to Grow a Great Garden As spring approaches and much of the world turns its attention to the care and cultivation of the soil, it seems an opportune time to explore the metaphorical meanings of gardening. Having been raised in a bucolic country setting, the parallels between growing healthy crops and maintaining robust communities are perhaps more apparent to me than to some of you. I would suggest that to become better stewards of the communities we cherish, the principles of gardening are a good place to start. |
Michael A Schuler | First Unitarian Society of Madison (WI) | 03/11/2007 |

| Why We Do What We Do (When We Do It) Unitarian Universalist Sunday worship has changed quite a bit during my years of ministry -- overall and here at UUCA. Our rituals and liturgy are meaningful, but not in the same way for everyone. Let's look at why we do what we do (when we do it). |

| People Gathered Together in Covenant What happens when 4,000 or more Unitarian Universalists gather in one place? They sing, they dance, and they create a community that covenants to dwell together in peace, seek the truth in love, and help one another. Last year’s General Assembly of the Unitarian Universalist Association met in St. Louis with many of our own FUS members in attendance. The theme was "Right Relations." Join us as we examine what it means to covenant with one another, what it takes to build the beloved community, and why to do this together as people of faith. |

| Purely Purim | Rev. Chris Buice | Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville | 03/04/2007 |
| When Things Are As Bad As They Seem As children we may have been told that things can't be nearly as bad as we think they are. But as we get older, we discover that they can be at least that bad, if not worse. Later, we might be told that we will never be given more than we can handle, only to discover that is not true either; or, at least it doesn't seem that way. So what can we do? On this Sunday, we will examine some spiritual tools that can help us cope when things are indeed as bad as they seem. |

She provided a powerful counterpoint to Emerson, once telling him: "Emerson, you are intellect. I am life." |
