Creation and the Promised Lane – April 24, 2016 (audio available)

CLICK HERE to listen to this sermon. I have always loved the exodus story despite its contradictions. Why did God have to harden Pharaohs heart and make it so hard to let the Hebrews go? And why did God have to make it so gruesome at the end, with killing all the Egyptian first borns […]

Enter the Greening Temple – April 17, 2016 (audio available)

CLICK HERE to listen to this sermon. I want to speak to the theological reasons of why it is so important for us to take a stand on the environment. I want to invite us into the dream of what a greening temple our earth could become again. Our conquest and subjugation of this land […]

Our Creative Faith: Unitarian Universalism in the Next 50 Years – April 10, 2016 (audio available)

CLICK HERE to listen to this sermon. This June marks the 55th anniversary of the merger of Unitarian and Universalism into the UUA. That merger was not without its heartache. The Universalists, those who believed that God is Love, the former hippies of the 19th century had declined from their once mighty status as the […]

Creation Stories – April 3, 2016 (audio available)

CLICK HERE to listen to this sermon. The very cosmos is an act of creation. Ancient myths tell of the great mother from whom all life flows. The Bible tells the story of a father god who created something out of nothing. One of my favorites is the Mayan myth of creation wherein God blew […]

Rolling Away The Stone – March 27, 2016 (audio available)

CLICK HERE to listen to this sermon. Spring lays her hands firmly on our shoulders. Never mind that there is much in our lives that is still very wrong, at least the weather is cooperating again. Such is the place of Easter in our lives. It’s not so much the religious significance of the holiday […]

Liberation Theology – March 13, 2016 (audio available)

CLICK HERE to listen to this sermon. My Friend Aaron Sawyer who runs a UU Blog shared this piece with me. Yesterday I was asked by a delightful young lady to attend her church, the “Evangelical Orthodox Church”. “Oh, I don’t think I’d like that,” I said. “No really,” she smiled back. “It’s not like […]

Wings Set Me Free – February 21, 2016 (audio available)

CLICK HERE to listen to this sermon. Much of the story is hard to recall, but certain details are deeply moving. I have never liked prisons. OK, that didn’t come out right. I have never been in prison, nor should I have any reason to be in prison. Just that when I have visited prisoners […]

The Path of Least Resistance – January 31, 2016 (audio available)

CLICK HERE to listen to this sermon. Throughout this month we have been exploring the theme of resistance. I have implored you to join together as a people of resistance in facing the struggles for justice in our world. And you have responded. Over thirty of us joined the Newtown Action Alliance several weeks ago […]

The Wisdom of Resistance – January 3, 2016 (audio available)

CLICK HERE to listen to this sermon. I spent a quiet New Year’s eve at home, thankful, I think to not be drinking more than I should. As one friend reminded me after a New Year’s eve when I had most definitely been over served by the bartender, “you know what happens when a drunk […]

The Light Within – December 13, 2015 (audio available)

CLICK HERE to listen to this sermon. It is a haunting tale. The little match girl was sent out every day by her abusive father to sell matches on the street which the family made in the hovel of a home. If she did not return with all the matches sold and money in her […]
