First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee

A Sermon from: November 9, 2008
By: Rev. Craig D. Schwalenberg with Ean Behr and a Story for All Ages by Beryl Aschenberg

The gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen.  Our environment continues to be threatened.  Whatever we’ve been doing to address these important issues does not seem to be working.  If only there was a better way…Van Jones has challenged us to tackle these problems The Green Way.  (Van Jones gave the Ware Lecture at the UUA General Assembly this year.)

A Sermon from: November 2, 2008
By: Rev. Andrew C. Kennedy

About this sermon, Drew Kennedy says: “Ever since colonial times, it has been customary for ministers in many churches to preach an “Election Sermon” the Sunday before presidential elections. While IRS regulations clearly oblige me not to endorse specific candidates or particular political parties, this still leaves me broad latitude to address the defining social, political and moral issues of the day. As part of the service, we may have a chancel drama of some sort by our in-house chancel arts group, ‘Stage Left.’ I invite you to join me.”

Unitarian Universalism comes out of the Christian tradition.  Both the Unitarians and the Universalists were Christian heretics. Many First Church members also come out of the Christian tradition.  How does this Christian heritage play out in our chosen faith?

A Sermon from: October 19, 2008
By: Rev. Hope Engseth

Robert Latham once noted an interesting phenomenon in our religious movement, which is “the simultaneous and contradictory love affair we have with smallness and the desire to be socially transforming…” When we look around us it is obvious that the institutions that truly impact society are large enough to have the resources to draw attention to their values. So what if the all the congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association made a commitment to grow? Today we join with congregations across the continent in considering the possibilities!

The Rev. Hope Engeseth is a Unitarian Universalist Community Minister in our district.She is a board certified chaplain with the Association of Professional Chaplains and serves in the Spiritual Care department at Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare in Racine on the weekends.
