"Unitarians Face a New Age" - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - This is the 200th anniversary of the founding of the American Unitarian Association! This is the first time Unitarians in the United States formed an institution to build a movement. What did they envision for the future of the moment? What parts of that legacy ring through two hundred years later?

"Religious Education Sunday" - Our Religious Education Department will be leading the services on Sunday, May 18

"Dreams of Peace, Dreams of Justice" - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - Mothers Day began as a dream of a world run by nurturing and caring hearts, a movement led by wives and mothers after the Civil War. Our world is not so rigidly defined, but the concerns are still similar. We still want a better world for our children, one without violence and war. We long for peace.

"Radical Imagination" - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - Our imaginations are shaped by the world in which we live, especially by media and culture. How many of us learned about justice and fighting for a better world from fiction? Stories and media allow us to imagine a life far removed from the one we are living, and that imagination can guide us in reshaping our reality.

"Universal Love, Universal Joy" - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - The great Universalist minister Hosea Ballou changed the world when he declared that God’s love was universal. He also said that we had a role to play in God’s unfolding love by growing into the caring hearts and justice-making hands that God had given humankind. We don’t talk about God as much as Ballou did, but his vision of ever-expanding love still moves us today.

"Joy Comes in the Morning" - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - All change is painful, even the transformations for which our hearts long. I imagine the caterpillar dreads the disintegration of becoming a butterfly. The pain of transformation holds within it the hope of joy.
