Unitarian Universalists have long believed that the twin human spheres of science and religion should never be in conflict. I am delighted to report that recent discoveries in human genetics prove our faith tradition is right on the money when it comes to one key dimension of theology and morality.

“The lives we live on this earth are filled with copious (and unpredictable) amounts of both good and bad luck…but seldom do we think about luck as having a spiritual dimension. I am persuaded that how we respond to the various shades of luck that enter our lives has everything to say about how successfully we will navigate our days on the earth.”

In honor of Women’s History Month, Dana will discuss the works and remarkable life of Unitarian and Transcendentalist, Margaret Fuller. Focus will be given to Fuller’s well-known travelogue of the Great Lakes, “Summer on the Lakes,” in exploring this 19th century feminist.
Originally from Texas, Dana moved to Cedarburg, WI from the Denver, CO area with her husband, Dan in 2016. She is a lifelong, second-generation, Unitarian Universalist and grew up in a primarily atheist/secular Humanist household. In the early 1980’s she took her first ‘Cakes for the Queen of Heaven’ class at First UU Church of Houston and discovered Earth-based, Womyn’s spirituality. She is a recently retired Registered Nurse/Nurse Educator, serving on the faculties of University of Denver, Regis University, and Marquette University in Milwaukee. Additionally, she is an Army Nurse Corps Veteran.

Scott writes: There have been many times and places in human history when religion gets dangerous for those who take their faith seriously. These are such times for American Unitarian Universalists. Do be with me as we flesh all this out.

The meaning of worship is
to be shaped by
what is of worth.
We gather together in spiritual community because we need constant reminders of what matters most in life. In a world of heartbreak and dehumanization, our congregations and communities call us to our better selves. We learn to live with more wisdom, more connection, and more compassion.
Our Worship Services are weekly reflections that weave together our own thoughts and experiences with music, beauty, poetry, and words that both comfort and challenge. Our programs for all ages inspire and awaken us to our capacities to make a difference in our own lives and in the world.
