UUFJC Newsletter: Flame on the Water, October 2023
Yesterday morning, Rev. Nancy TannerThies joined us to continue our month of reflections on Heritage with a message titled "Renounce, Denounce, Announce."
Though I did not hear the message myself, Rev. Nancy's title conjures the thought that our personal heritages do not always shape us in the way of treasured legacies, but sometimes as examples we wish to "renounce, denounce," and strike out from in search of something different. Many of us come to our UU faith in just such a search, and our Fellowship can be a source of comfort and healing in such a case. But let us not stop with renouncing and denouncing. Let our healing allow us to look with clear eyes at our heritage and own any good it may have done us, as well as the parts of it we can't accept. Let our healing give us the peace and confidence to "announce" where we've been, as well as where we've come to and where we are going.
For those who would also like to keep up with our neighbors at the UU Church of Columbia, their service message from yesterday is available to view online:
