Unitarianism and Freedom of Thought – by John Dietrich updated by and Todd Eklof

2024 Jul 28 | News, Religious history, Worship Service

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.

Renewing Our Free and Resp. Search for Truth & Meaning by Odell Havsdotter

5/18/2024 – A Life Well Lived by Bob Simoni

2024 May 19 | Worship Service

Bob Simoni lead May’s NAUA Community Worship service which is entitled “A Life Well Lived”, a phrase which you might hear used at a Memorial Service for someone who led an exemplary life. The sermon will discuss what are some of the significant events of a person’s life that would lead one to say it was a “life well lived”, and whether it’s something we should aspire to have happen at the end of our lives.

Special NAUA Service on Sunday Jan. 20 2024

2024 Jan 16 | News, Worship Service

This service features a sermon by Rev. Dr. Todd Eklof, entitled “Finding Our Way: Where Our Liberal Religion Must Go From Here”.

Rev. Eklof is the Minister of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Spokane,  President and Founder of the North American Unitarian Association and is now one of the preeminent champions of Liberal Religion in North America and the World.

Rev. Eklof describes his sermon as:

Somehow, over the past few decades, Unitarians and Universalists have lost our way, often demonstrating the very opposite of our purposes and principles. Now, whatever we are about must include regaining our place as am influential liberal religious voice in the world. It is not to correct others, including the UUA, nor to exist in opposition to anyone or anything.  We are here to benefit and guide others by promoting and demonstrating who we are and what we are about. In this sermon, we’ll consider more precisely what this means.

The Service begins at 10:00 PST (1:00 PM EST)
