Many of us lose important relationships over the course of our lives. Often this is because we drift away, but sometimes a rupture or injustice lies at the origin of this loss. Today, we will restore our legacy as biblical interpreters, and read passages as a guide on how we can restore relationships we thought were beyond reconstruction. Rev. Zinke preaching.

Over half of Unitarian Universalists have felt that our congregations have provided a type of spiritual sanctuary from a narrow, judgmental religious onslaught. We made it safe to be religious and/or moral without belief or Christian identification. How can we expand our understanding of refuge so that it can include more of our neighbors? Rev. Zinke, preaching.

Because Unitarian Universalism is a non-confessional faith, we often overlook the fact that the vast majority of us hold certain core beliefs, among them that there is no comparable afterlife. Beliefs, such as this one, have shaped our perceptions and have encouraged us to be justice makers. Rev. Anastassia Zinke, preaching.

When Martin Luther King, Jr. was in his Ph.D. program, he briefly considered converting to Unitarianism, but did not. As he entered the Civil Rights movement, he found a new level of spiritual connection that was more in the vein of Universalism. This new gift led him to non-violence. Let's discover and walk this path for ourselves. Rev. Zinke, preaching.
All Souls Unitarian Church, Indianapolis, IN.
As we enter 2017 and January's theme of non-violence, we reflect on what it means to be an "Instrument of Peace," first to ourselves and then to others. We question how we tune and harmonize peaceful rhythms in our own lives so as to continue to drum the beat of change in the world. We will look at the spiritual practices of Gandhi and other spiritual changemakers to help us in contemplating our own journey. Cindy Budyn, preaching.
