Living a Soul-full Life Unitarian minister A. Powell Davies is often quoted as having said: "Life is just a chance to grow a soul." While I agree with the sentiments, Rev. Davies and I might disagree on the details. As we turn the page on April and get ready to greet May, this morning I’ll look at what living a soul-filled life looks and feels like.	Rev. Fred Muir	Unitarian Universalist Church of Annapolis	04/29/2007
Pandora's Mistake Fifth in a series on Heretics	Co-Minister Kaaren Anderson	First Unitarian Church of Rochester NY	04/29/2007
Birth Control is Wonderful! Driving around Tulsa we can see huge billboards that read, "Birth Control is Harmful." These are countered by other billboards that say, "Birth Control is Easy." The first slogan and its implications are much more harmful than birth control itself. The second slogan is inadequate in its response to the first. There are enormous moral issues at stake in this debate and they require more than a billboard campaign. Sex is not a sin. However, religious dogmas that lead to overpopulation, increased poverty and the spread of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (such as a ban on birth control) is a sin of deadly proportions. Religions that promote ideologies that inadvertently lead to suffering and death are much more harmful than religions that advocate for responsible sexual behavior. You may hear more about sex this Sunday than you have ever heard in church before. Well, at least more positive comments about sex.	Rev. Marlin Lavanhar	All Souls Unitarian Church of Tulsa	04/29/2007

Four Simple Principles for Sustaining Ourselves, Our Community, Our World In recent years I’ve thought long and hard about the planet and its future. The knowledge and virtuosity of our species is awesome, and our Western lifestyle (from a material standpoint, at least) is enviable. But the cost of creating so much abundance has been considerable. To create a sustainable future we need more than new technologies, we also need to "recycle" a few traditional values. The four I plan to discuss this weekend are particularly relevant.	Scott Gerard Prinster	First Unitarian Society of Madison (WI)	04/29/2007
Don't Get Attached to the Outcome How do we reconcile religious teachings about control, attachment, and letting go with our desire to compose the best life possible and our need to feel safe in today's world? Why "The Secret" is resonating now and what ancient lessons may help us today.	Rev. Debra Haffner	The Unitarian Church in Westport	04/29/2007
Earth Day Celebration We used to think of Earth Day as a one-day yearly event when some environmentalists picked up trash. Now we realize that every day is Earth Day and it is both a celebration and a responsibility for all of us, involving all the things we need to learn, practice and celebrate about creating a sustainable community of life on our one and only planet.	Rev. John Marsh	May Memorial Unitarian Universalist Society, Syracuse, NY	04/29/2007
Marriage: For Better or Worse Marriage is perceived by some as a fundamental institution for society's well-being. How has this institution changed over the years, and what is its proper role in our society today?	Rev Art Vaeni	Olympia Unitarian Universalist Congregation, Olympia, WA	04/29/2007
Bloom Where You Are Planted Continuing the springtime flower theme this month, we’ll look at how each of us can blossom and grow in our own unique way, in this life, the only life we’ve got to live.	Reverend Nancy McDonald Ladd	Bull Run Unitarian Universalists, Manassas, Virginia	04/29/2007

The Common Good	Rev. Helen Cohen	First Parish Lexington Unitarian Universalist	04/22/2007
This Week In God Following a week of senseless murder, both in Quincy and at Virginia Tech, Rob shifted his focus to address some of the issues raised. These acts are symptoms of a culture oriented towards death rather than a culture of life. Referring to the conception of God described by Alfred North Whitehead, Rob explains how God experiences the losses during the week past with pain, very much like our own.	Rev. Dr. Rob Manning.	The Unitarian Church of Quincy, Illinois	04/22/2007
Mind, Body, and Spirit Matt preached this sermon after completing the Ironman Arizona triathlon. Mind, body, and spirit are the triathlete's trinity.	Rev. Matt Tittle	Bay Area Unitarian Universalist Church, Houston, TX	04/22/2007

In the Shadow of the Holocaust - Memory and Action? Our speaker this morning is the staff director of the Committee on Conscience that guides the genocide prevention activities of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. He will speak to us about the history that inspired this important institution in Washington, D.C. and the application of the lessons learned for modern day crises in our world in places such as Darfur. There will be a special collection to support the work of UNITAS, a social service program in Transylvania that is led by Rev. Eniko Ferenczi.	Jerry Fowler	Conejo Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, Thousand Oaks, California	04/22/2007
The Eighth Day We will celebrate "Our Blue Boat Home". Whether six thousand or six billion years old—this is our only Home! After 25 years of ordained ministry in the United Church of Christ, Rev. Aschmann made "a leap of faith" to become the settled minister of the UU Congregation of Erie. His life journey began in Germany, and he came to the U.S. as a child. His faith journey included Bob Jones University and the Jesus Seminar, with many detours along the way. His current life goal is to be an evangelist for Unitarian Universalism and to invite the vast "church alumni association" to discover true liberal religion.	Rev. Steve Aschmann	East Shore Unitarian Universalist Church, Kirtland, OH	04/22/2007
Living in Right Relationship with the Earth Ecological concerns are more than environmental or scientific problems; as spiritual issues they signal a failure to recognize our responsibilities to one another and to the planet. How can we, as a faith community, bring our perspective to repairing our relationship with our Earth?	Rev Carol McKinley	Olympia Unitarian Universalist Congregation, Olympia, WA	04/22/2007

Ecological Theology What theology might treat our environment better than either dominion or stewardship?	Rev. Dr. Randolph W.B. Becker	Unitarian Universalist Fellowshop, Key West. FL	04/22/2007
"A Community of Conscience The week beginning April 15, communities around the world will set aside time to remember the genocide of European Jews known as The Holocaust. When I was recently at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, they had a special exhibit on the genocide in Darfur, a recognition that humanity has failed to learn the lessons of The Holocaust. The genocide in Darfur will end only when communities of conscience unite to speak out. Join me this Sunday & let your conscience speak.	Rev. Fred Muir	Unitarian Universalist Church of Annapolis	04/22/2007
Rethinking Environmentalism In 1970 Earth Day began and since then environmentalism has become a part of the fabric of American life. Today, environmental concerns influence how we live, what we buy and who we vote for. Nevertheless, there is no popular consensus on what is an appropriate moral response to the current situation. There is even a lot of confusion about what is the current situation. Even so, Americans know that environmental stewardship is important, yet we differ on the depth of our commitments to living in environmentally responsible ways. Religions, which claim to support life and be concerned with relieving suffering, have been slow to respond to issues of the environment. Is it an anti-scientific bias in religion, an unwillingness to challenge their membersâ lifestyles, or is it a fundamental worldview which has kept religion from being a prophetic voice on the environment? There is a growing "green" awakening in American life that is finally penetrating mainstream religion. Even at All Souls we are rethinking our relationship to the environment and looking into the question of "How green are we?"	Rev. Marlin Lavanhar	All Souls Unitarian Church of Tulsa	04/22/2007
An Inconvenient Responsibility Our 2006 UU Statement of Conscience on global warming/climate change calls us to work on many levels to protect the changing climate of our "blue boat home." We "pledge to ground our missions and ministries in reverence for this earth and responsibility to it." Certainly, given the range of our beliefs, this will mean something different for each of us.	Rev. Jean Wahlstrom	May Memorial Unitarian Universalist Society, Syracuse, NY	04/22/2007

The Unity of Certain Kinds of Gods Are gods created in humankind's own image? Do individuals invent their own gods? What are the factors that enter into the construction of god images? Ever notice that some gods are easy and others hard?	Rev. Dale Arnink, Minister Emeritus	The Unitarian Church of Los Alamos, New Mexico	04/15/2007
Religious Prospecting	Rev. Laura Cavicchio	First Parish Lexington Unitarian Universalist	04/15/2007
Words matter, but . . . Joe concludes a marvelous survey of the human condition with the words, "Perhaps being "fully alive" means simply living by that positive ethic that was also taught over the last 4,000 years by all the great religions of which we know: treat others as we would want to be treated. If the evolutionary biologists have it right, this is in fact the ethic that came to us from our primate ancestors. If so, it is this ethic that is truly fundamental."	Joe Conover	The Unitarian Church of Quincy, Illinois	04/15/2007
Blessing the Earth On this Sunday before Earth Day, we will look at the ways in which we can honor our connection to the Earth and the legacy that we can give to those who follow us through our careful stewardship of the planet that is our home. We must find ways to reverse the thoughtlessness and destruction that has become so much a part of our lives and the lives of our neighbors. We must be prepared to bless the Earth with our words and our actions.	The Rev. Dr. Betty Stapleford	Conejo Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, Thousand Oaks, California	04/15/2007
We Dream of Golden Mornings	Rev. Charles Blustein Ortman	The Unitarian Church of Montclair (NJ)	04/15/2007
Mental Health and the Spiritual Community Many of us count "wholeness" as one of the qualities we seek to nurture in ourselves, but when this also means struggling with serious mental illness, participation in a spiritual community can be quite complicated. Although mental illness is more common than cancer, diabetes or heart disease, it often remains hidden and a source of shame for sufferers and their families. What role can a congregation such as ours play in supporting our friends with mental illness, and what are the limits to helpfulness?	Scott Gerard Prinster	First Unitarian Society of Madison (WI)	04/15/2007
Be Bold! You've heard the theme of this year's canvass: be bold! If we are to be responsible caretakers, we need to be bold in our stewardship. We need an adventuresome spirit, a strong, even daring sense of determination to move this ship full steam ahead, to be all that we can be. This requires us to be bold enough to talk clearly about our financial needs.	Rev. Frank A. Hall	The Unitarian Church in Westport	04/15/2007
Abundant Possibilities	Rev. Marlin Lavanhar	Unity Church-Unitarian, St. Paul, MN	04/15/2007
Growing by Giving Fourteen years ago this congregation moved into its current building. Since then, the congregation has evolved in a number of ways. As we prepare to undertake a capital campaign we will consider how a congregation reveals its faith in itself and in life when it chooses to build community by making room for new possibilities.	Rev Art Vaeni	Olympia Unitarian Universalist Congregation, Olympia, WA	04/15/2007

Prophets, Dreamers, Sages, and Seers We usually lump these descriptive terms together, as if they were all the same. But, they are not! Which one would we rather be?	Rev. Dr. Randolph W.B. Becker	Unitarian Universalist Fellowshop, Key West. FL	04/15/2007
The Great Story	Rev. Michael Dowd	East Shore Unitarian Universalist Church, Kirtland, OH	04/15/2007
Last Child in the Woods In a society that has become increasingly more wired to the internet and other electronic media, we must ask: Is a relationship to nature essential for the emotional, physical, and spiritual health of children and adults? Join us as we explore the staggering divide that has grown between children/adults and the outdoors.	Rev. Tim Kutzmark	Unitarian Universalist Church of Reading, MA	04/15/2007
Much Ado About Nothing Nothing doesnât seem to mean nothing these days. When we say we are doing nothing, often we are actually daydreaming, spending time with loved ones, resting, living. This kind of nothing can create our most meaningful experiences. When asked about the impact of some event on our lives I am often greeted with the answer: "Itâs nothing," when the circumstances and all affectual cues say otherwise. In Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert illustrates the guilt associated with indulging in pleasure. Gilbert goes to Italy in search of pleasure after a messy divorce. When she arrives however, she find that it takes time to allow herself to settle into any pleasure because she is too used to working hard, being responsible, and maintaining a disciplined grip on her life. She writes, "During my first few weeks in Italy, all my Protestant synapses were zinging in distress, looking for a task. I wanted to take on pleasure like a homework assignment. I pondered such questions as, 'How is pleasure most efficiently maximized?'" She goes on to say, "Generally speaking, Americans have an inability to relax into sheer pleasure. Ours is an entertainment-seeking nation, but not necessarily a pleasure-seeking one. By contrast, the Italians are the masters of Bel far niente - the beauty of doing nothing."Rev. Tamara Lebak	All Souls Unitarian Church of Tulsa	04/15/2007
Beloved Community Over the past few decades, the expression "Beloved Community" came to replace UU references to the Kingdom of God (or Heaven). What does Beloved Community really mean? What assumptions underlie it? And, is there now a more apt expression of our vision of the world to come?	Rev. Jean Wahlstrom	May Memorial Unitarian Universalist Society, Syracuse, NY	04/15/2007

Varieties of Love: The Secret Life of a Unitarian Universalist Chaplain For many people the word "hospital" means "trouble." Inside its walls, though, you may find just the person you need: someone who walks into your room to "be" with you, to listen to and affirm the truth in you that is waiting to be revealed -- and that would be the chaplain. Today, Rev. Julie Newhall will share what it's like to do this work as a Unitarian Universalist.	Rev. Evan Keely	UU Congregation of Somerset Hills	04/15/2007

The Gospel of Judas at Easter Throughout the history of orthodox Christianity, Judas has been portrayed as a traitor who betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. But with the discovery of the long hidden Gospel of Judas, a new picture of the greatly maligned figure has come to light. We will explore the legacy of Judas and the message that his gospel can bring to us on this Easter Sunday. We will also observe our traditional Flower Communion by giving and receiving flowers as a celebration of this beloved community.	The Rev. Dr. Betty Stapleford	Conejo Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, Thousand Oaks, California	04/08/2007
Easter Unorthodoxy We are all familiar with the "orthodox" take on Easter: by dying on our behalf the Son of God atones for human sin, and his subsequent resurrection conveys to believers the prospect of eternal life. That, in a nutshell, is the "good news" Christians from the Apostle Paul to Rick Warren have been preaching. I offer an alternate vision of the "saving work" of Jesus of Nazareth.	Michael A Schuler	First Unitarian Society of Madison (WI)	04/08/2007
Lifted from the NO of all Nothing After spending three days in New Orleans, visiting our friends at First Unitarian Church and touring the Katrina-torn neighborhoods, I can report that the stone hasn't been rolled away, but a resurrection is promised. The church and the city are coming back to life, slowly and painfully. It's an Easter Story.	Rev. Frank A. Hall	The Unitarian Church in Westport	04/08/2007
Life Wants to Live	Teresa Schwartz	Unity Church-Unitarian, St. Paul, MN	04/08/2007
Becoming truly human with Mary Magdalene Mary Magdalene is one of the remarkable figures portrayed in the early Christian story. According to the Book of John she was the first to witness the resurrected Jesus. As both myth and metaphor what may she reveal to us about the nature of life?	Rev Art Vaeni	Olympia Unitarian Universalist Congregation, Olympia, WA	04/08/2007

An Easter Faith When I was growing up I used to prefer Christmas to Easter. Christmas included candy and lots of presents, and Easter included lots of candy and a few presents (mostly clothes). Now that I am more interested in the spiritual side of the holidays, my appreciation has shifted towards Easter. One metaphorical way to understand the spiritual significance of Christmas is that it symbolizes the birth of hope and an awareness of holiness in us and in our world. Easter, on the other hand, represents the rebirth of hope and holiness in the aftermath of painful experiences such as betrayal, death and loss. The renewal of hopefulness after walking through the valley of the shadow of death and despair has a spiritual maturity that comes from encounters with life's most poignant and painful experiences. In the Jewish Passover ritual, green herbs are dipped in salt water and then eaten. The green plant represents hope and new life while the saltwater represents the tears that were shed during the Jews captivity prior to their passage to freedom. Renewed hope in the aftermath of tears is the kind of gift any of us can appreciate. May the deeper spiritual significance of this season become real for all with open minds and hearts.	Rev. Marlin Lavanhar	All Souls Unitarian Church of Tulsa	04/08/2007

A Heretical Interpretation Of Easter Second in a series on Heretics	Co-Minister Scott Tayler	First Unitarian Church of Rochester NY	04/08/2007
The Cup For millions worldwide, the story of the resurrection of Jesus is the most powerful testimony of all to God's power to transform the very nature of our mortal existence. Viewed metaphorically, this ancient story contains a universal message of perseverance and hope.	Rev. Evan Keely	UU Congregation of Somerset Hills	04/08/2007
The Passing of the Palms	Rev. Bill Clark	First Parish Lexington Unitarian Universalist	04/01/2007
Facing Loss Jesus’ humanity is vivid as he prays that the cup pass from him in the Garden of Gethsemane. Most of us waiting for the surgeons knife, a tooth extraction, a vaccination, or in a hospital waiting room know the anguish of anticipating the possibility of pain and loss and wishing it would go away. Jesus makes his peace saying, "nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." Is this how we, too, should face loss?	Rev. Samuel A. Trumbore	First Unitarian Universalist Society of Albany	04/01/2007
Holy Play Because religion deals in part with weighty matters like evil and morality, one might get the impression our communty is intended to humorless, rule-bound and serious. But what about the playful side of spirituality and religion? Yes, playful! In this program Scott explores how humor, spontaneity and creativity all contribut to the possibility of "Holy Play."	Scott Gerard Prinster	First Unitarian Society of Madison (WI)	04/01/2007
The Reluctant Parting We're pleased and privileged to welcome Dr. Galambush to our pulpit. She is a Biblical scholar, and author of the fascinating book, 'The Reluctant Parting: How the New Testament's Jewish Writers Created a Christian Book.' She will talk about the origins of Christianity as a Jewish sect, not an attempt to 'form a new religion.'	Dr. Julie Galambush	The Unitarian Church in Westport	04/01/2007

The One Reason As we gather later for UUCA's Annual Meeting, which begins at 11:00 a.m., I want to reflect with you on why we bother--with meetings, polity, church. As my senior colleague John Wolf has said, "There's only one reason" why.	Archene Turner	Unitarian Universalist Church of Annapolis	04/01/2007

Tim Kutzmark	Unitarian Universalist Church of Reading, MA	04/01/2007
Who's The Fool?	Rev. Marlin Lavanhar	All Souls Unitarian Church of Tulsa	04/01/2007
What Jesus Tried To Save Us From On this Easter Sunday Morning, Rob made a fresh survey of the four Canonic gospels, with only one question in his focus: What was it that Jesus was trying to save us from. He came up with five answers, each with a scriptural reference. You will find the range of these answers at variance with the traditional American Christian Easter sermon.	Rev. Dr. Rob Manning	The Unitarian Church of Quincy, Illinois	04/08/2007

The Long Road to Liberation Passover, which begins on April 2, tells an ancient story of the redemption of a people from bondage and degradation. It is a story full of courage and dignity. But the Exodus story is also one of discouragement, cowardice, even brutality. It is, in other words, characteristic of so many struggles for human liberation.	Rev. Evan Keely	UU Congregation of Somerset Hills	04/01/2007
What's So Funny? I Don't Get It Steve brings us an April Fool's delight; a critique of the forms of humor that we encounter daily. Mixed in amongst the scholarly analysis and the thoughtful observations are examples of the humor that Steve finds most entertaining. Have you heard the one about . . .	Steve Wiegenstein	The Unitarian Church of Quincy, Illinois	04/01/2007
