Rev. Lori on Love
“As a UU, Love is my name for what others call God. While love can be a feeling, for me the “feeling” is only a small part of the fullness of the word. Because it is also a verb and at the center of decision making and right relation. For ourselves and others. And it often means choosing the gifts and wellness in our life and the enormous web of our creation that we have been given.”
Easter Sermon: Rolling Away the Stone-The Courage To Begin Again
The Easter story begins in grief.
It begins in fear, in loss, in the sense that hope itself has been sealed away.
The stone is not just across the tomb—
it is across the future.
And yet—
the story does not end there.
In the UU tradition, we don’t ask whether the resurrection happened literally.
We ask:
Where is resurrection happening now?
Rev. Lori on the The Wayside Pulpit in our Modern Age
“I invite you to think about how and where and how much you tap into social media. What do you look at? Consider how it impacts you. Consider how it impacts people younger than you. Consider how it impacts kids. Positive messages promoting love and right relationship must be sent out into the webosphere. It is a pulpit. Another version of a wayside pulpit.”
