Reclaiming a Language of Reverence

Sunday morning at 10am

with Rev. Nica Eaton

Words like God, holy, sin, or church can feel loaded or alienating to many UUs, but do they still have something to offer us? Join us as we gently unpack and reinterpret religious language, exploring how, in translation, it might benefit our shared spiritual journey.

This Day in Unitarian Universalist History…

August 2, 1876 – The pioneering religious educator Sophia Lyon Fahs was born in Hangchow, China, the daughter of Presbyterian missionaries. She received and M.A. degree from Columbia’s Teacher’s College in 1904 and a B.D. degree from Union Theological Seminary in 1926. Fahs edited curriculum materials for the American Unitarian Association and devised the innovative New Beacon Series. She was ordained to the Unitarian ministry in 1959, at the age of 82, and preached her own ordination sermon, calling for centers for teaching and research about religious education at seminaries. She died on April 17, 1978, at the age of 101. ~ This Day in Unitarian Universalist History
