Rosemary Morrison’s Installation as Lay Chaplain and Peter Scales’ Retirement as Lay Chaplain
To celebrate the start of Pride week, which begins July 1st, Amanda will explore the Q in LGBTQ and why it is important to have conversations about sexuality at church.
This homily will be presented via a TED talk, with Benjamin Zander. Benjamin Zander is a conductor, composer, leading interpreter of Mahler and Beethoven. He is known for his charisma and unyielding energy — and for his brilliant pre-concert talks. His two infectious passions: classical music, and helping us all realize our untapped love for it — and by extension, our untapped love for all new possibilities, new experiences, new connections.
The old economic order is discredited, but it has not gone away. People vote for it, even though it no longer benefits the majority.
Ben Dolf will argue that we must do more than offer a critique, build alternative models or suggest remedies. We must write a story. A story to help us escape the present deadlock and to enable the majority to embrace a better and more democratic system. Ben believes that our story will evoke principles such as those embraced by Unitarians, but also virtues that enabled older generations to create satisfying and healthy communities. We can and must help write that story.
Rosemary will present a TED Talk by Brené Brown. Brené is a research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. She studies vulnerability, courage, authenticity and shame. The questions she answers through this talk are: How do we learn to embrace our vulnerabilities and imperfections so that we can engage in our lives from a place of authenticity and worthiness? How do we cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection that we need to recognize that we are enough – that we are worth of love, belonging, and joy?
Unitarianism has historical roots in Transylvania. Today’s experiential worship service will be in the style of the Hungarian Unitarians whose Protestant Christian worship includes holy communion. Our speaker, Robert “Robi” Taylor, is a long-time Canadian Unitarian who regularly visits Kolosvar, a partner church.
