UUFJC Newsletter, "Flame on the Water," August 2022
Sunday, August14th, 2022:
This morning, we welcomed our Catholic neighbor Father George Kramer for our Sunday message. During our month of focus on Compassion, many UUs can recall experiences with the less-than-compassionate side of other faiths, but most religions have a call to compassion at their heart --- as witnessed by the poster in our building showing versions of the Golden Rule (treat others as you would want to be treated) from many traditions. However, all of us have work to do to heed that call to compassion. Father Kramer discussed in particular the Catholic Church's history of Anti-Semitism and the many, many years of work to move the Church toward the loving spirit of Christ. Just as being Christian is not enough, however, being UU is not enough, even if we'd like to think it is. Today as we hear from people color, transgender people, and others, what history do we have to grapple with? How can we move toward our faith commitment to compassion?
Next Sunday, August 21st:
