Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon
Together, we find meaning, celebrate life, and serve the spirit of love and justice in our world.
Seeds of Nurture
with Rev. Erika Spaet, Guest Speaker
Sunday, July 12th at 10 a.m.
There are many ways to consider progress. Whether forward movement is personal or cultural, claiming this can be imprtant. But, there is also the danger to be found in the hallucination of progress. Practices of presence might help us discern the difference.
Erika is originally from New Jersey and moved to Portland after college to cut her teeth as a community organizer and live in intentional spiritual community. She graduated from Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in Berkeley, California, and now serves as the pastor at Storydwelling in Bend. She is married and enjoys cooking, reading, and singing lullabies to her boys.
OUR MINISTER
On Connectedness
by Rev. Scott
In 1820 in Boston, Unitarian minister William Ellery Channing said, “Religion, we are told, is a private, personal thing, between the individual and God. His neighbor or the community must not meddle with it… I would maintain that religion is eminently a social principle… The social character of religion is not sufficiently regarded.”
OUR BELIEFS
Diverse Beliefs, One Fellowship
Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregations draw on elements of a variety of religious traditions, as well as humanitarian and environmental values, for our spiritual inspiration and practice. UUs have a diversity of beliefs, and may identify as humanists, atheists, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, pagan, something else, or nothing at all. As we celebrate diversity, we also have a set of core beliefs that unite us.
