“The Gospel of Climate Change – Where is the Hope?”

Climate change is having an increasing impact on the earth, including human society. The basic equation of climate change, as explained in last year’s UN report, requires that carbon emissions drop steeply within the next several decades. Can we do this? Yes! We have lots of exciting technologies and strategies for reducing fossil fuels. Will we? Well…. We’ll explore the practical, political, and spiritual challenges of transitioning to a low-carbon society.
Service led by Wy'east Member and Trained Climate Reality Project Volunteer, Karl Arruda.

Friend, Why Are You Here?

Francis David and Giorgio Biandrata were two early founders of the Unitarian movement, back in the 1500’s.  They were masters at using new communications media to tweak the sensibilities of the religious conservatives of their day.  What fun—for a time. Rev. Craig Moro will share what happened next with you this morning.

In the Details

I had the good fortune to study the book of Revelation under the guidance of the late Rev. Daniel Berrigan. Dan was the first Roman Catholic priest to make the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List for his anti-war activism.  After serving time in prison, the Catholic Church had “silenced” his teaching and preaching for several years. His class on Revelation—the vivid, violent, and visionary last book of the New Testament—was his first chance to teach after this silencing.  What I recently found in my old class notes speaks even louder today than it did forty years ago!  Sermon by Rev.

Light without Heat: The Celtic Holiday of Imbolc

In Celtic mythology, the first signs of spring, the snowdrops popping up through the hard group, were said to be the steps of the goddess Brigid. Spring was considered to be just peeking its head out of winter's grip, thanks to the appearance of Brigid. Brigid, who became St. Bridget over time, the patronness of Ireland. Come explore with us as we look at the holiday, as well as the tranformation of a pre-Christian figure into a saint welcomed into the life of a complex Celtic Chrstianity.  Service by Rev. Catharine Clarenbach.

Ants and Elephants

Here’s a proverb from Indonesia: “We don’t notice the elephant on our own eyelid, but can spot an ant on the other side of the sea.” I see this or that in you and in your actions.  But when it comes to me...now that’s another story! Come hear such a story on this first Sunday of the new year.   Sermon by Rev. Craig Moro
