Life long learning is one of the most important tenets of Unitarian Universalism. Our belief in the continuing revelation of Truth in all its forms holds with it the responsibility to pursue that truth with intention and purpose, and Adult Religious Education workshops are an important way in which we as a congregational community engage in this pursuit of Truth. Our workshops seek to support our personal spiritual journeys by providing opportunities to expand our knowledge, to explore ideas and feelings and to grow emotionally and spiritually. By this support of the personal and individual, we re-energize and re-focus our spiritual and civic commitments, contributing thus to a strong foundation for our collective work towards a better society.

Sunday Morning Forum

Timely Unitarian Universalist Topics (TUUT)

TUUT was formed to be a lively discussion group examining a variety of current topics of interest.   President Bush's co-optation of Private Charity under the rubric of Faith Based Initiative was one of the first things examined.  In concert with the Sunday Morning Forum, TUUT discussed ramifications of Sam Harris' critique of The Acceptance of Evil.  We also tackled Reverend Sinkford's call for a Language of Reverence.  That one was a 'two parter' and brought out a lot of people and lively discussion. 

This year TUUT will explore a wide range of topics -- which will largely be generated by those who are meeting and interested.  These topics will, however, include the UUA Study Action Issue of Peace Making.  Our first session will center on something simple and close to home:  What is your elevator speech -- how do you answer -- for others and for yourself – what you mean if you call yourself Unitarian Universalist.

Thinking Scripture

Thinking Scripture is an ongoing course that provides an opportunity to explore the history of the Bible, traditional and non-traditional interpretation of the Bible, and to share our own perspectives on and struggles with this key text.  We are reading slowly an in depth, combining study materials in addition to the core text itself. Currently our primary focus is on the Hebrew Scriptures. Over time, we will carefully explore the Hebrew Scripture, the Christian Bible, and other sacred texts. You are welcome to join at anytime. Please contact Rev. Hilary Krivchenia with questions. 743-8812. The group meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month in the evenings.

The church has a large number of books on various religious, theological and spiritual topics.  You are welcome to borrow books from the church library.
