Our Age

Fingers on cell phone

Our age is known for violence. It has been marked by alienation.

It has spawned bureaucracy.

It has embraced cynicism.

Yet human beings yearn for alternatives;

they long to matter.

They hunger for a community of shared values reflecting the triumph of intelligence and the life of the spirit.

From Carnegie Commission’s Study on Future of Public Broadcasting. 1976

 

When Liberalism Goes Terribly Wrong

When Liberalism Goes Terribly Wrong (Alternatively – When Populism Swings Left)

 
As always, the service will be recorded and available after Aug. 19 on the UUSpokane YouTube site.
 
However, we hope you will join us on Zoom at tinyurl.com/spokanezoom.` Participating in real time allows you to get to know new Unitarian friends and engage in a lively discussion after the service. If you would like to receive a weekly reminder of the sermon topic and the zoom address you can join the UUSpokane Google group by emailing web@naunitarians.org
 

Liberal values are the only values that have ever moved humanity forward, toward its fuller potential. Yet this does not mean its promise has only been stalled because of resistance from those of a more conservative spirit who are fearful of any and all change. Throughout history, those professing liberalism and its values have often proven to be the worst offenders of human dignity and welfare. In this sermon, we’ll consider some of the warning signs of a liberalism that’s gone wrong.
