Sometimes the deep calling of purpose is embedded in our own lives. What are we meant to be attentive to? In times of difficulty, where can we discover the values that help us lead meaningful, affirming lives? Rev. Anastassia Zinke preaching.

Last year, Kheprw Institute and Spirit & Place Festival partnered to host an eight-month series about gentrification, bringing together more than 400 participants from across Indianapolis. It can be difficult to have honest conversations about gentrification because of how mired it is with issues of class, politics, and race. Imhotep Adisa and Alvin Sangsuwangul will share their takeaways from the series and offer hard questions, readings, and resources for greater understanding and action.

During this Earth Day Celebration Sunday, let us re-hear and celebrate ancient stories from around the world teach us about our place in the circle of life.  Let us allow these stories to restore our role as stewards of the earth. Rev. Zinke preaching.

All Souls Unitarian Church, Indianapolis, IN.

Apr 16, 2017

On this Easter Sunday, let us consider the gospel story of Jesus turning over the tables in the temple.  How can we understand this story as one of restoration? What values are at the center of this story?

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.

All Souls Unitarian Church, Indianapolis, IN.

How we talk about issues of racism and oppression can be more important than what we say.  Join us as we consider how to bring more joy and justice to our world. Julica is a candidate for Unitarian Universalist ministry, currently attending Meadville Lombard Theological School. She also serves as a Retreat Leader for the Beloved Conversations program, and is passionate about working with UU congregations across the country on multicultural competency development and racial justice.

Those who have lived a whole-hearted life often approach death without regret.  At the center of whole-hearted living is making the courageous choice of joy. Let us learn how to choose joy. Rev. Anastassia Zinke preaching.

All Souls Unitarian Church, Indianapolis, IN.

Feb 19, 2017

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.

All Souls Unitarian Church, Indianapolis, IN.

Feb 5, 2017

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.

All Souls Unitarian Church, Indianapolis, IN.

Jan 22, 2017

Standing Rock is a community gathered for prayer and non-violent resistance. Rev. Anastassia speaks about her experiences there, and why it has affirmed the power and and effectiveness of non-violence.

All Souls Unitarian Church, Indianapolis, IN.

Jan 15, 2017

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.

Jan 1, 2017

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.

Dec 25, 2016

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. Two religious teachers who bring a Buddhist perspective-Thich Nhat Hanh and Paul F. Knitter can help us approach Jesus again. Rev. Anastassia Zinke preaching.

All Souls Unitarian Church, Indianapolis, IN

Dec 18, 2016

Many of us learned democracy through the pages of To Kill a Mockingbird. Step into the past as youth are invited to bring this theatrical service to life. Rev. Zinke, preaching.

All Souls Unitarian Church, Indianapolis, IN.

Nov 20, 2016

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.

All Souls Unitarian Church, Indianapolis, IN

Nov 6, 2016

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.

All Souls Unitarian Church, Indianapolis, IN

Oct 16, 2016

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.

All Souls Unitarian Church, Indianapolis, IN.

Oct 2, 2016

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.

All Souls Unitarian Church, Indianapolis, IN.

Sep 25, 2016

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.

Sep 18, 2016

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.

All Souls Unitarian Church, Indianapolis, IN

Sep 11, 2016

On this 15th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, let us remember how this act of terrorism has shaped us as Americans. What does this heritage ask of us now? Rev. Zinke preaching.
