What the Story Says
with Jared Anderson, Guest Speaker
Sunday, March 8th at 10 a.m.
When we hear a story, we all hear the same words. However, we each relate to those words uniquely through our own life experience. The power of a story is that if we listen and open ourselves to the possibility that there is insight to receive, the story will provide. We invite Jared Anderson this Sunday to share his storytelling and reflection through word and drumming.
Jared Anderson is a Counselor, Rite Guide, Storyteller, and a Co-Founder of TheBeholden.com, a non-profit focused on Land, Ancestors and Accountability. Since age twenty, he’s been seeking wisdom, guidance and healing in nature, in old stories, from mentors, and from solitude. He also works as a one-on-one counselor with adults and as group facilitator for people with mental health and addiction challenges.
OUR MINISTER
On Connectedness
by Rev. Scott
In 1820 in Boston, Unitarian minister William Ellery Channing said, “Religion, we are told, is a private, personal thing, between the individual and God. His neighbor or the community must not meddle with it… I would maintain that religion is eminently a social principle… The social character of religion is not sufficiently regarded.”
OUR BELIEFS
Diverse Beliefs, One Fellowship
Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregations draw on elements of a variety of religious traditions, as well as humanitarian and environmental values, for our spiritual inspiration and practice. UUs have a diversity of beliefs, and may identify as humanists, atheists, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, pagan, something else, or nothing at all. As we celebrate diversity, we also have a set of core beliefs that unite us.
