SUMMARY:Being BeLoved
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Parisa Parsa \n \nWe round out our month of exploring the Gift of Liberating Love with a meditation on belonging: giving and receiving the gift of connection in community. Reflecting on the story of Ruth and Naomi\, we’ll explore the risks and the rewards of claiming one another and the kind of love that binds us beyond kinship. What deepens and enriches our connections\, and what can threaten them?

SUMMARY:One In Name\, in Honor One: FUUSN's 175th Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:On October 24\, 1868\, a group of leaders in education\, agriculture and politics officially founded a new Unitarian congregation in West Newton. Among them were luminaries we still celebrate: Horace Mann\, Nathaniel Allen\, as well as lesser-known folks whose decisions and foresight have made possible what this congregation is today.

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.
