Joy and Woe, Woven Fine

Our blessings and our burdens are not only closely intertwined, they often come from exactly the same source. Farewells and greetings occur at the same moment, on the same threshold. The experiences that wounded us most yielded the insights that enable us to live more … read more.

Please Be Patient: Student Driver

When we’re driving, new drivers may be alongside us at any time–people who don’t even have a license yet. They’re just learning, so they’re not the safest cars with which to interact. Maybe it would be better if they weren’t on the road. But how … read more.

Can I Believe Anything I Want?

That’s a misleading shorthand that people often use to describe Unitarian Universalism–a religion where we can believe anything we want. It’s understandable that these words come to mind, because in contrast to many religions, it’s true that Unitarian Universalism isn’t defined by a set of … read more.

The Morality of Abortion

The leaked news that the Supreme Court will almost certainly overturn Roe v. Wade after 50 years has landed with a sickening, world-shaking crash in our lives. While many rejoice, the vast majority of US Americans want abortion to remain available. But we have been … read more.

The Times, They Keep A’Changin’

I’ve got some good news, some bad news, and some more good news for you.

The good news is that we belong to a tradition that keeps changing to incorporate new understanding. The bad news is that that means we have to keep changing, too. The … read more.

Lifted Moments: 75th Anniversary Service

During the service, we wrote our “lifted moments” in these balloons, now displayed on the walls besides rooms 4, 5, and 6 (the block with the yellow doors). Enjoy, and come add your own!

UUCPA turns 75 on April 6! We celebrate today by looking at … read more.

Trust in the Opening

We can’t live forever. We’re pretty sure of that. And maybe we don’t want to live forever, especially when the body ages and we “get weary and sick of trying,” as the song “Ol’ Man River” says. But what if we’re also “scared of dying”? … read more.
