July 20, 2024 – Reflections on the Loss of the 7 Principles & 6 Sources by Joyce Kinnear
For July, the worship committee presents a service focused around a group discussion of the rift in the UUA, and particularly the article 2 vote; the grief associated with these events, and our path forward. The reading is to be the 6 sources and 7 principles. For the homily we ask 3 speakers (Joyce Kinnear, Rev. Twinkle Manning, Rev. Todd Eklof)) to give short talks that inspire reflection and comments. We hope to help people acknowledge the reality of what has happened and provide a positive vision for the future.
Unitarianism and Freedom of Thought – by John Dietrich updated by and Todd Eklof
While many of us had the opportunity to hear Rev. Eklof present an amended version of Rev. John Dietrich’s 1918 sermon, “Unitarianism and Freedom of Thought”, last Sunday on UUSpokane zoom, some of you did not.
For me, it was an extremely powerful and meaningful experience.
While one can watch the Service on YouTube. However, there are so many important ideas expressed in the sermon that I wanted to have the text so that I could study it more carefully, share it with others and keep it for reference.
