We assume that our system for selecting a president is the only way, even though the process is fraught with problems which can reap results that are real humdingers! Some Unitarians and Universalists from our past would have made excellent presidents – (I can dream) – so how can we ensure that this most powerful of jobs is filled by such people of competence, capability, and compassion? Come explore ideas of justice and hope for our future through our own UU heroic history, and by some daring presidential dreaming.

January 8 2023 – Phil Crossman – “Some Animals More Equal”: Attitudes Toward Equality and Inequality in American Life”
Posted by Tim on January 9, 2023
Americans have been thinking about, feeling about, and debating the subject of equality for as long as we can remember. Some inequalities disturb us to the core. Some inequalities we have been taught to celebrate. Some of the same are hardly noticed. This talk looks at equality and inequality from a philosophical, religious, and historical perspective, and asks us all to consider just how our attitudes toward different forms of inequality have been shaped without leaving an inventory.

October 9, 2022 Rev. Calvin Dame, A Spiritual Life
Posted by Tim on October 10, 2022
When I tell someone what my profession has been, it is not uncommon to hear people rush to inform me that they are spiritual but not religious. After years and years as a minister, I find myself thinking that I am religious but not spiritual!

September 25, 2022 25 – Rev. Kalen Fristad, Universalism: Past, Present and Powerful.
Posted by Tim on September 26, 2022
In addition to speaking on the history of universalism, I will be relating that the teaching of eternal damnation is not merely a harmless untruth that we might appropriately ignore and allow to stand, but it has serious consequences. It leads to the possibility, perhaps even the inevitability, of wars, bigotry, oppression and abuse. On the other hand, the teaching of universalism leads to equality, respect, love and dignity for all.
