Alan Dawson “The Songlines”
Aug 28 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

“The Songlines” is inspired by a book of the same title by Bruce Chatwin. He ventures into the desolate land of Outback Australia to learn the meaning of the Aboriginal’s ancient “Dreaming-tracks.” Along these timeless paths, among the fortune hunters and redneck Australians, racist policemen and Aboriginal holy men, Bruce discovers a wondrous vision of our place in the world. In the book Bruce muses upon war, peace, wandering and many other issues. My Homily will hopefully interest each one of us to ask the question, “What is my “Songline” or “Dreaming track” just what is it that guides us through the labyrinth of our lives.

Susan Layng “Canadian Justice: Is there Hope after Prison?”
Sep 4 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

Our 1st principal states we believe in the worth and dignity of every human being. Can this include convicted felons? Susan will take us on an exploration of what it was like to work with Federal incarcerated inmates, our parole system and life after prison. Her message encourages us to open ourselves to the possibility of Healing and Hope in an otherwise lost and forgotten segment of our society.

Anna Isaacs “By Heart”

Unitarian head and Universalist heart is a common shorthand for describing these two streams of our history. For just over a year I’ve worn a chalice necklace. What have I learned about how l live my faith with my head and my heart during this time?
