"Having The Spirit For Winter"

First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa

12/22/19 • 27 min

December 22, 2019 - Sunday Sermon by Rev. Patricia Guthmann Haresch -
For the ancients in the Northern Hemisphere, winter was a time of mystery, magic, and fear of what the future might hold. What creatures were out there shrouded by snow and darkness? Will the sun return and the storehouses be replenished? In their myths, there is evidence they were aware of sun depravation's effects on mental health. Yet, winter was also a time of festivals and feasts. At this time of the Winter Solstice, "the longest night," how might we in this age cultivate a spirit for weathering the winter?

Our Fourth Source

First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa

01/21/18 • 23 min

By the end of the eighteenth century there were two religions espousing Liberal Christianity on this side of the Atlantic – the Universalist Church of America and the American Unitarian Association. Over 150 years later, when these two religions consolidated in 1960, the statement of union was reached not without some contention around what was to become our fourth source: “Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God’s love by loving our neighbours as ourselves”. This morning we shall unpack some of the “stuff” that still causes some misunderstanding and confusion concerning this fourth source.

Why Religion Matters

"We can't compare faith flatly to reason and declare it intellectually inferior. Its territory is the drama of human life, where art is more precise than science... Some say that religion is the cause of our worst divisions, and a threat to democracy and civilization. The truth is more broadly and deeply rooted in the human psyche and spirit." - Krista Tippett
