On November 23 when I gave the "Tipping Point" sermon, we debuted the Davies House Band which provides more contemporary music for UU services at Davies.  This has been part of my plan to diversify our music program. We now have a Davies Choir, Children's Choir, Family Choir, and House Band, along with serveral others who provide instrumental guitar, flute, clarinet, and the like.  There is something for everyone.  Our faith must have theological, racial, liturgical, and also musical diversity if it is to stay vibrant and vital in this new age.  Please check out the Davies House Band and see what a keyboard, sax, drums and lead singer can do for UU services across the country...

To tip something toward massive growth you must have a message and meat working together...

We are in a time of purification which offers liberal faiths an opportunity for rapid growth and expansion.  What could TIP the growth of Unitarian Universalism?  And are we ready?

This sermon continues my chat on moving beyond our prejudices by seeking to see life through others' lenses.  I also discuss the election and the blue and red issues.  Enjoy...

This is from my radio show "The Barbershop".  This conversation is with a good friend, Duane McClure, a therapist and diversity trainer.  We discuss Obama's image as the "hero" and as a modern day representation of the ancient archetypes that have existed for centuries.  Has he chosen the path that many sages before him chose or does our President have a choice in fulfilling his destiny?  Freedom or fate?  Listen in to one of my very private conversations about life...

The color that has been oppressing is GREEN.  Let us look at how we are moving toward a post-racial society and how the elite have used power and money to oppress  us all!

This reflection is on why Jefferson wrote his version of the Bible.  I compare Thomas Paine's "Age of Reason" to Jefferson's Bible.  Enjoy...

We are at a critical point as Unitarian Universalists.  We must change our faith to reflect a changing nation or risk dying as an irrelevant faith.  But we were once a known religion and a major player on the public stage.  What happened?  How can we find our "mojo"?  Listen to this sermon for details...

Blessings,
Rev. John

Here is the controversial sermon by Rev. Jeremiah Wright.  I think you will see, it has been taken out of context and is quite accurate in its description of some the hypocrisy we've demonstrated as a nation.  Please listen to all of this to understand Rev. Wright's full message.  Blessings!
