Sunday, 22 March 2026: Belonging

There will be no in-person or Zoom service on Sunday, 22 March 2026. We are offering a reading suggestion for those who are interested We, as progressives, rightly criticize the version of belonging that is being offered. But sometimes we forget that all the right ideas and plans won’t make you feel less alone. We need to build a culture and an experience that can and does....

Sunday, 15 March 2026: Swords Into Plowshares

There will be no in-person or Zoom service on Sunday, 15 March 2026. We are offering a reading suggestion for those who are interested Because the Bible isn’t ever just one thing. In the wrong hands, it has been – and continues to be – a weapon. But in hands committed to courageous love, it can become a transformative tool.....

Daylight Saving Time begins (March 8, 2026)

Daylight Saving Time BEGINS (in those parts of the United States where it is celebrated) on Sunday, March 8, 2026, when 2:00 a.m. is magically revealed to be 3:00 a.m., leaving an hour-long hole in the night, an hour of sleep lost, and tired eyes and slight disorientation among the population for weeks to come. Please remember to set your clocks…...

Sunday, 8 March 2026: The Oral Traditions of Childhood

Many of the common rhymes and verses beloved by children were found by the Opies to have originated, much like “67,” in the lyrics of popular music. But unlike the novelty of “67,” one of the most fascinating qualities of this oral tradition was its historical nature. Songs perceived by children to be the hot new thing on the playground actually had their origins in popular songs or poems of decades if not centuries before....

Sunday, 1 March 2026: Food Rules

Most often the people in Berlevaag during the course of a good meal would come to feel a little heavy. Tonight it was not so. The convives grew lighter in weight and lighter of heart the more they ate and drank. They no longer needed to remind themselves of their vow. It was, they realized, when man has not only altogether forgotten but has firmly renounced all ideas of food and drink that he eats and drinks in the right spirit....

Outstretched Wings of the Spirit

Outstretched Wings of the Spirit A series for Lent from the Memorial Church (Unitarian), Cambridge, England. We posted these each day in 2023, starting here, but the introduction has links to each day. Perhaps something inspiring for the next 40 days.

Sunday, 22 February 2026: The Right Freedom for the Right People

It is one of our harmless fancies that we are a humorous people constantly sustained by our ability to laugh at ourselves in merry understanding at each endearing and cherished fault. Such frailties as we recognize, we willingly admit in a magnanimous gesture born of security and the freedom we feel therein. All of this involved talk merely means that we are a pack of myopic bums....

Sunday, 15 February 2026: Living In a Time of Polycrisis

I hadn’t fully grasped how much the idea of a better future sustained me – how it made life more livable, hardship more bearable and creativity possible. When I could readily imagine a world that was more just and healthy, it was easier to commit to long-term projects and to invest in the next generation. But in our current political and environmental context, that vision has grown hazier – and I, like many others, have found it much more difficult to be productive and plan for the future....

Sunday, 1 February 2026: Genealogy as a Spiritual Practice

The human being, as we have seen, is born not only within nature but also, always and necessarily, within a culture. The first characteristic of one’s initial cultural identity is that it is imposed during childhood rather than being chosen. On coming into the world, the human child is plunged into the culture of its group, which precedes it. — Tzvetan Todorov, …...
