This Sunday, via video, we presented a sermon by national Unitarian Universalist Association President Susan Frederick-Gray, which she delivered two weeks ago at the UUA's annual General Assembly. Rev. Gray called on UUs to live out the fierce compassion of our faith --- to stand up for "the inherent worth and dignity of every person" in dehumanizing times. She insisted that this is no time for casual faith or armchair concern. And, she said, this is no time to go it alone. We need to step forward with the courage of audacious love, and we need community to hold each other and heal each other and give each other strength to act.
Next Sunday, July 15th:
Adult Forum - 9:15 am
"Toltec Civilization," Stephen Carew
The discussion will center around the Aztecs who were strongly influenced by a culture that rose to power in the Valley of Mexico called Toltec. The Toltecs were masters of architecture, art, medicine, engineering, and calendrics. They left no written records, but a masterpiece of the teachings was written by Don Miguel, called The Four Agreements. Should these ancient practices be integrated in our lives today?
