Join us for this reflection on religion in politics in America today.

This is Sermon XII in the year-long series,“Unitarian Universalist Theology and Practice 101”. Have you ever experienced a moment when you felt completely embraced by creation-- something holy and larger than yourself? If so, you may be a process theologian! Process Theology is a way of looking at life and creation that works well spiritually for many Unitarian Universalists. It’s a holistic and naturalistic perspective that both describes and gives meaning to our creation. This Sunday you’ll find out more about this fascinating and thoughtful worldview.

“India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition,” wrote Mark Twain, describing some of the wonders of India. But Rev. McGee discovered another reality—both shocking and inspiring— when he visited partners of the Unitarian Universalist Holdeen India Program. Rev. McGee is the Lead Team Minister of the UU Church of Arlington. In his 35 years of ministry, he has served many UU congregations.

In keeping with the 50th anniversary of RRUUC, Rev. Marshall will consider the beginnings of Unitarianism and Universalism in the Washington metropolitan area. Drawing upon his research for a book that will be published next year as part of Arcadia Press’s Images of America series, he’ll offer thoughts about what the Unitarian and Universalist presence has meant in the DC metropolitan area. Unitarians have been here since 1815, Universalists since 1827. What difference has it made? Rev. Marshall is an affiliate minister at RRUUC and has recently completed service as consulting minister to the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville. He is also a writer with published works in the realms of history and Unitarian Universalism.
