Sunday Service on Zoom - Our Philosophical Religion
2024-07-28 10:15 - 11:30 | Zoom
Is Unitarian Universalism best described as a late offshoot of Protestant Christianity, or a very late offshoot of Greek philosophy? FUUSN member Arthur Anderson has made a decades-long study of this question resulting in a treatise titled The Transcendentalists and The Death and Rebirth of Western Philosophical Religion. This Sunday, Arthur will describe his research and open up a new perspective on the history and essential nature of our faith.

Composition is a central part of any artistic endeavor, providing the means for projects to be conceived, structured, and launched. In this service we will look over the shoulder of several artists within the FUUSN community as they engage in artistic composition: Bob McWilliams, music composer; Cathy Morocco, poet; and Elli Crocker, painter. Their tactics can enhance our insight into composing the initiatives of our own lives, whether artistic or personal.
This service is IN PERSON ONLY.

Sunday Service on Zoom - In Defense of Capitalism
2024-07-14 10:15 - 11:30 | Zoom
As members of a liberal faith, we are regularly alerted to the importance of disciplining capitalism through initiatives like anti-monopoly legislation, unionization; and social, equity and governance policies. In our zeal to discipline capitalism, however, have we missed a larger reality – that it is capitalism which is responsible for the economic well-being of our age on which we all depend. FUUSN member Urban Larson addresses these questions regularly in his university teaching. His thoughts for us this Sunday will be an invitation to consider our biases concerning essential economic realities.

NOTE: While this is not an official FUUSN event, it is being moderated by our own Rev. Parisa Parsa.
We are living in a highly divisive time in which both international and domestic issues are pulling at the civic fabric of our society. As residents of Newton, we have seen the negative consequences of this trend in our own beloved city.
