Worship for All

Unitarian Universalist worship is a time set aside for the experience of something special. Call it the Holy, a sacred hour, or call it community of active love, in the end it, should be a transformative experience from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Worship is made up of small and large moments tied together with bonds of joy, sorrow, lament and most of all love.

Audio and Video

The Written Word

I have very few full text sermons since I usually preach from notes.  A video archive at First Unitarian Church of Pittsburgh can be found here. Mount Vernon audio recordings, and more recently, video recordings can be found here.

I particularly like these from Pittsburgh:

  • Sept. 26, 2021, Am I Wrong?

  • Oct. 17, 2021 The Joy of Conflict

  • Dec. 12, 2021 The Cosmic Christ

  • May 8, 2022  Our Bodies Ourselves

 

From Mount Vernon:

  • June 9, 2019, Let There be Music, Let there be Love

  • Aug. 18, 2019 Building Hope

  • Sept. 22, 2019 Happiness... Age of E-Friendship

  • Oct. 13, 2019 How do White People Talk about Racism Anyway?

  • April 19, 2020,  Deconstructed Beef Wellington

  • June 21, 2020, Strengthened by Uncertainty
