October 13–

Bagel Buddies – We might not be able to flip hotcakes in our renewed spaces, but we can still serve up some delicious bagels! Children will help wrap and prep bagels and whip up yummy shmears while upstairs. After the service, find us at our table outside as we trade bagels for donations, raising funds for amazing groups. This doesn’t work without you! See you then!

Each week we will offer book suggestions for all ages, books that celebrate diverse identities, resist stereotypes, and uplift social justice. Whether you choose to purchase the books, borrow them from a friend, or check them out from your local library, we hope you enjoy these stories featuring characters from a wide range of communities.

This Day in Unitarian Universalist History

October 15, 1889 – Manchester College, an academy to train Dissenters from the Church of England for the learned professions, opened in Oxford, England, having moved from London. It’s primary function was to train Unitarian ministers, though it had no official connection with the denomination. At the time the college was founded in 1786, Unitarians were not allowed to graduate from either Oxford or Cambridge Universities because of the requirement to sign the Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England. Manchester College is now named Harris Manchester College and is one of the constituent colleges of Oxford University. It’s charter from Queen Elizabeth II requires that the chaplain of the college is a Unitarian, Unitarian ministerial students are trained at no cost, and a Unitarian is on the college’s governing body. ~This Day in Unitarian Universalist History
