The Re-Enchantment of Life: Ritual in Our Time

Durren Anderson

Ritual and devotion, even in religious institutions, have fallen on hard times. Perhaps to our detriment we’ve allowed too much to be devoured by the ‘tyranny of the now.’ But time in ritual space slows down, and what humans have traditionally found there has been highly prized. We’ll look at dimensions of ritual; aesthetic, moral, personal and communal in hopes of finding some practices worth keeping.

Is the Universe a Safe Place To Be

Don Prantl

Continuing to explore this question from a non-conventional Christian point of view involves both pitfalls and an underlying alternative reiterated by Yeshua the Anointed One that finds various expressions in differing personalities. Such things have given rise to the Enneagram, among other devices, as an effort to understand ourselves and facilitate our spiritual evolution. Join us for an interesting investigation that relates to everyone’s life experience.

Seven Deadly Sins: Gluttony

Ruth Semrau

In a world of slaughter, fanaticism and pain, are we worried that someone may be overeating? Why are these sins called ‘deadly?’ And does a fourth-century list of sins have relevance to our lives in the 21st?

Advent

One in a series on the Seasons of the Christian Liturgical Year

Jay Noble

This is the time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of Christmas. Even though some of us do not observe these holidays in a religious sense, as Unitarians and Universalists and as full human beings, we are still called upon to reflect on their spiritual meaning.
