FROM A FATHER TO A FRIEND
When you are engaged in the work you love, there comes a time when you must take time to rest and reflect.  In ministry it is called "self-care".  When you end your career and decide to retire so you can enjoy life more, this too is "self-care".  On this special Father's Day Sunday, as we move toward the heat of summer, which slows us all down, let's reflect on the past church year--the work we've done, the successes we've had, and the challenges yet to come, keeping in mind that even though we've done great things and have more to do, we still must take time to stop and stare.

 Rev John explores the influence of Theodore Parker on early Unitarianism. How while he believed in the abolition of slavery, he also believed in his race as superior to the others.  How could he be so outspoken for the freedom of all and yet so intent on maintaining separatism?  How does UUism deal with this dichotomy?

 It's not Fair

Listen to Rev John remind us that while life serves up a varied array of events, we are the authors of what it serves based on our choices. We do have control over our choices and our actions and reactions. Do something about the things going on around you. Get involved.
