White Rockets

George Bernard Shaw wrote in his work entitled: “The Essence of Inhumanity”: The worse sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent toward them. That is the essence of inhumanity.”

Infinite Possibilities

We do not helplessly exist. We decide, each moment, what our attitude and existence will be. So why not venture all that we are and believe in all we can be?

Mysterium Tremendum

Since the earliest days of our UU faith we have been challenged to open inquiry concerning the concept, and individual, relationship to the Divine. Al’s sermon will invite us to explore the topic through the lens of personal expression.
