A "Religious, Naturalist Mystic," Rev Scott strives to embody service to our holy mission to build Beloved Community, together, in covenant.
"Beloved: A Redamancy of Fugitivity" — led by the Rev. Jé Hooper. As a community of faith and mindfulness, the word “beloved” has become a signature term of UU endearment that emphasizes the hope of unity and equality as passed down from our theological ancestors, Josiah Royce, Howard Thurman, and Martin Luther King Jr. To be Beloved or in Beloved Community has bound us together to radical ideals of belonging. Join Rev. Jé as they apply the work of Toni Morrison’s book Beloved as a way to examine a fugitivity of affection, a way to love others in their freedom of becoming.
"Trusting the Truth: Towards A Theology of Repair" — led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. Like "Trust," " Truth" is a big word. We live many truths, as human beings have diverse gifts. We each see different pieces of reality - we see some more readily than others. Being in Covenanted Community allows us to learn from one another. Join us this Sunday as we explore how we Repair the World together, every day.
"Meta-Noia: Trust the Power of Love to Change Lives" — led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. Metanoia is a Greek word that is translated in the Bible as 'repent' and sometimes 'convert.' Its richness is often lost in English. Metanoia refers to an experience so strong that it literally transforms our point of view, causing us to turn with this new experience to see ourselves, the divine, and the world itself, differently. Join us as we explore what Metanoia can mean for Unitarian Universalists, and for you.
Sesame Workers Union
Brennyn Nast lights this candle of joy for the Sesame Workers Union. On May 15th the workers behind the non-profit that produces Sesame Street formed a union! Though Brennyn was laid off in March, they have continued to work for this union effort that they began with a small group of colleagues nearly 2 years ago. What an incredible joy it is to see this labor union make it over the finish line! Wishing them strength and solidarity as they negotiate.
