SUMMARY:Inciting Joy
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Parisa Parsa \nWe celebrate the theme of renewal with meditations in word and song on the things that bring us joy\, tracing them all the way back to their beginnings as Ross Gay does beautifully in his book Inciting Joy. Creation Dance will offer their movement meditation on renewal and sources of joy\, and we will lift up memories of those who have passed in our monthly ritual of memorial candles. Our offering will benefit the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute’s Mother’s Day Walk for Peace.

DESCRIPTION:The Sanctuary Boston \nCallie Jennings and the Sanctuary Boston band bring you a service that will leave you with more questions than you came with\, confused\, and unsure what it all meant… and hopefully convinced that’s a good thing. Trade your free and responsible search for truth and meaning for a tangled-up and reckless crush on the world and discover how being lost and foolish can make survival\, love\, and justice possible.

SUMMARY:Surrender and Change
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Parisa Parsa \n \nWe often think of change as something we are responsible for initiating\, controlling\, and completing. Attending to transformation\, however\, requires an interesting relationship between active work and letting go. How can practices of surrender help us arrive at the transformation we seek?

SUMMARY:Bending the Arc
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Parisa Parsa \n“I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one\, my eye reaches but little ways; I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience. And from what I see I am sure it bends toward justice.” \nThese words from Unitarian minister and theologian Theodore Parker in 1853 have taken on new life in their more succinct form paraphrased by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (“The moral arc of the universe is long\, but I believe it bends toward justice.) How do we calculate the curve and complete the figure of the arc\, when so many well-intentioned folks have gone astray? What guides us in the work of creating justice\, and what can keep us humble?

SUMMARY:The Gospel of Universalism
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Parisa Parsa \nToday’s world desperately needs the message of our Universalist heritage: the bold claim that all are saved and that we must tune ourselves to the love of God present in us\, among us\, and beyond us. Continuing our theme of Heritage\, we will explore some of the radical thinkers who kept this theology alive through history and consider how we might express the Universalism our heritage today.
