SUMMARY:Over 60s Sponsored Presentation:  Philosophical Religion: FUUSN’s Heritage
DESCRIPTION:January 26\, 2025\, 12-1:30 pm\nAlliance Room and Zoom\nLunch bites provided\nPresenter: Arthur Anderson\, JD\, author of The Transcendentalists and the Death and Rebirth of Western Philosophical Religion: Part 1\, Ancient Philosophy as a Religious Way of Life; Part 2\, Abrahamic Religion against Freedom of Thought\nIndependent Researcher\, Teacher \nIn a radical departure from Abrahamic faiths\, the Transcendentalist movement in 19th century Unitarianism saw the locus of religious authority as residing within the individual rather than a religious organization or sacred text. Transcendentalists were greatly influenced by ancient philosophy as a religious way of life which was based on the locus of religious authority within the individual. Arthur will discuss how the freedom of religious thought found at FUUSN and in contemporary UU is rooted in classical philosophical religion or ancient philosophy as a religious way of life. \nThis will be a wonderful opportunity to discuss and learn from Arthur who has an historical perspective providing an illuminating look at history\, our Concord/Boston inspiring figures/FUUSN founders in 1848 and our Unitarian roots. Do join us Sunday\, January 26\, 2025 for this Stimulating Presentation! \nSmall bites for lunch.\nZoom link sent out close to the event. \nInformation re: A. Anderson’ research and work can be found at https://arthur-anderson.com/

SUMMARY:Worship Service: Quaker Service (no Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Anne Watson Born\, Director of Music Ministry\nOur annual Quaker-style service will be held on Sunday December 31\, 2023 at 10:15am in the Sanctuary. “…group silence is a type of communion\, using both the religious and secular meaning of the word. We are taking sustenance and solace from each other\, receiving a blessing of the spirit. We are also communing together\, experiencing community\, in silence with each other. We are all focused on becoming present to ourselves so that we can become present to others.” (Heather McRae-Wolf)
