A Minister’s Message – What’s in a Name? – September 13, 2022

Hello friends – Over the course of the last year our congregation has been embarking on a process to select a name which best reflects our present reality and our highest aspirations as a spiritual community. At our best, our name should describe who we are and inspire us to our best collective selves. This […]

A Minister’s Message – What is Theology? – April 20, 2022

Some of you have been fortunate to have taken the course “Building Your Own Theology” either with me or with our Minister Emeritus, Frank Hall.

A Minister’s Message – Summer Solstice – May 11, 2021

On June 20th we are planning to have the Summer Solstice service/concert, as we do each year. This time we are focusing on circles, seasons, and spirals. Recently, I was listening to a lecture and the lecturer was making a distinction between “paradox” and “parallax.” Paradox is a statement that is seemingly contradictory. Parallax is […]

A Minister’s Message – Earth Day – April 23, 2021

As Unitarians we are blessed with the rich reflections of our elder, Ralph Waldo Emerson. He invites us to experience our call to transcendental unity with nature: “We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles. Meantime within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty, to which every […]

A Minister’s Message – Endurance of Place, Of People – February 9, 2021

I woke up to find the flakes falling again this morning, this time fresh snow upon layers already fallen. When it snowed here in November, my heart was too heavy to carry me outside. I remembered a childhood of snow in Pennsylvania, saw three winters in Boston with none, then I lived in Montreal for seven […]
