Unitarian Universalists have long emphasized the humanity and teachings of Jesus, but for many of us it is difficult to see past the traditional portrayals of Jesus as a divine being.

Terry Tempest Williams believes that the human heart is the first home of democracy; that the heart is where we embrace our questions. What is a living democracy? How can it heal the heart and soul of a broken and beautiful world? How does UUism figure in its future possibilities? What does it mean to participate in the living heart of democracy? Rev. Zinke, preaching.

Most of us are familiar with the Golden Rule, "Treat others the way that you would like to be treated." This is a powerful philosophy, and can often function as a compassionate check on our individual words and actions in many situations. However, in today's rapidly diversifying world, is it enough? Guest speaker Aaron Kesher from Minneapolis-based deepSEE Consulting addresses this topic in connection with the larger idea of cultural competence, one definition of which is "the conscious mitigation of unconscious bias." No matter who we are, gaining a deeper understanding of our own cultural selves can and will lead to more effective, comfortable, and authentic communication with those who are different than us, whatever form those differences may take.

(Due to the longer than usual service, the speech was not captured in its entirety)

Americans are familiar with the phrase "separation of church and state," but few of us understand this complex matter. Let us review some historical examples to consider the ways that states and religious institutions have interacted, and the powerful and appropriate role that religious people and communities have in ensuring democracy. Rev. Zinke, preaching.

With participation in established faith communities dropping dramatically, UU leaders have taken a hard internal look.  In response, Rev. Fredric Muir has called for us to abandon our "trinity of errors"--individualism, exceptionalism, and anti-authoritarianism--and to move forward creatively with generosity, pluralism, and imagination.  Come let us celebrate the Unitarian Universalism that inspires us and that can meet the aching needs of a new generation. Rev. Anastassia Zinke preaching.

The Wright Brothers' initial mastery of flight was not serendipitous, but rather the result of creative curiosity and disciplined innovation. What was their methodology, and how might their approach be useful in approaching other situations that call for creativity and innovation? Rev. Zinke, preaching.

Israelites living under the control of the Ancient Greek Empire experienced a great deal of pressure to assimilate to the dominant Greek culture.  Today, many ethnic minorities also experience pressure to assimilate and adopt European cultural traditions.  Dr. Vincent Wimbash counters that we should intentionally disrupt this pattern.  Let us consider this history and Wimbash's recommendations.  Rev. Zinke, preaching.

Even though 99% of UUs general identify as "white," we do not need to have a mono-culture. In fact, diversity is the heritage of the religious freedom at the heart of Unitarian Universalism. How can this heritage of freedom inspire us to express openly our various cultural identities and welcome all people as blessings? Rev. Zinke, preaching.

McKinney School of Law professor and author, address three main points during this Labor Day service: 1) Living wages are good for our community from an economic perspective, 2) Living wages are good for our community from a moral and spiritual perspective, and 3) We all have an opportunity to stand in solidarity with our working brothers and sisters fighting for a living wage in our own community.

This coming November a number of counties in the Indianapolis metro area will vote on a referendum supporting the expansion of our public transit system.

Ada María Isasi-Díaz, the late professor emerita of ethics and theology at Drew University, birthed a new branch of liberation theology rooted in her experiences as a Cuban-American woman -- and gave a term mujerista to that identity and voice. Mujeristas are Latina women living in the USA who are aware of how sexism, ethnic prejudice and economic oppression limits their wholeness of life. In a life shaped by struggle, mujeristas describe how they have learned to live lives shaped by solidarity, empowerment, faith, liturgy, and ritual. Reverend Zinke preaching.

The Stonewall riots are widely considered to constitute the single most important event leading to the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for LGBTQ rights in the United States, but this encounter wasn't about LGBTQ rights alone. It is also an example of intersectionality and an interesting example of protest movements generally. Let us learn more about Stonewall and its impact, and what lessons it still teaches us.

Myths about race and racial justice leaders are deeply embedded and often go unchallenged - from the historical record of John Brown to our use of common terms. Let us uncover some of these false narratives and shake up our own thinking. Reverend Zinke preaching.

The faith world is increasingly multi-faith, with people crossing borders of religion and spiritual practice to create wholeness in their lives individually and collectively. Hear our members speak about their experiences at General Assembly and in welcoming his Holiness the Dalai Lama to Indianapolis. Let us reflect together on how people of many faiths can worship together, learn from one another, and create a new vision of faith.
