May 14 - She was once the most powerful deity in the cosmos but was dethroned by the patriarchal fathers. She was the giver of life, the caretaker, and protector, and now, too often, she has been dishonored by many generations. But "no lie lives forever" and the goddess is making a subtle but dramatic comeback. In this sermon, in honor of Mother's Day, I want us to look at the return of the goddess in post-modern mythology and how this may restore positive images of the feminine in our culture. This sermon was given at Davies Memorial Unitarian Universalist Church in Camp Springs, Prince George's County, Maryland, where we're building a multicultural, caring community. Room for different beliefs. Yours. Visit us at www.dmuuc.org.
