A Span of Sin: A Part or Apart

speaker photoA Sermon from: April 29, 2007
By: Rev. Craig D. Schwalenberg

Sin? In our free, liberal faith? Surely not. What does that word even mean to us in the modern age? Ultimately, those questions have individual answers– but I know what I believe. I believe that we are surrounded by sin. I believe we are all sinners. I believe that Sin is the difference between acting as if we are apart from this world, and acting as if we are a part of this world. That difference, that is the span of sin.

Rabbits, Resurrection, and Rebirth: What Does Easter Mean To You?

speaker photoA Sermon from: April 8, 2007
By: Rev. Craig D. Schwalenberg

“Do Unitarian Universalists celebrate Easter Sunday?” my friend asks. “Yes,” I respond. She raises her eyebrow and cocks her head, “Really? What do they celebrate?” And I tell her… I tell her… I tell her of eggs and rabbits and flowers. Of darkness and light and of the moon and the sun. Of dancing and coupling, flirting and celebrating. Of Goddesses and Gods. Of Death. Of Life. Of Resurrections and Rebirths. I tell her about one of the oldest and most meaningful of holy days. I tell her of Easter.
