First Unitarian Church of Chicago episodes
- Love the Hell Out of the World - Rev. David Schwartz
The spiritual legacy of our Universalist ancestors is not hell but hope. What does it mean or matter to be saved here and now?
21 min - You Are the New Day - Rev. David Schwartz
Living in community is demanding invitation. It requires a constant remembering of who we are called to be and a constant remembering of who we are—and we live in the space between. In this service we will commission the newly formed membership team, and we’ll welcome our new members of Fall 2018.
15 min - Children of this Sanctuary: the 62nd Birth of the Chicago Children's Choir - Rev. David Schwartz
The Chicago Children’s Choir was founded in 1956—62 years ago!—right here in the First U Sanctuary. At the time, forging an interracial choir of children was unheard of. Our sanctuary was a shelter from the storms of racism in the broader city; when the children started to perform offsite, at times they were subject to racist, hateful speech. But our
sanctuary was more than a shelter from the outside world. Our sanctuary was a shelter for the outside world—to send the children of the city to teach Chicago a new song.19 min - All Are Called: General Assembly 2018 - Rev. Teri Schwartz and Rev. David Schwartz
A service from our congregational delegates to General Assembly 2018: Betty Sikes, Alan Lindrup, Joan Pederson, and Betty Holcomb
41 min - Adventure Boldly and Explore - Rev. David SchwartzThe Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism are part of a centuries-long journey trying to name clearly things commonly believed among us. Every generation has proclaimed, rebelled against, revised, and argued about how (and whether) to summarize our continually progressive faith. A service looking back to take us forward. After the service, gather for a forum and conversation on the proposed 8th principle.37 min
- Animals We Love to Hate - Rev. David Schwartz and youth
In this Sunday’s intergenerational service, we will honor those furry, fluffy, scaled,
shelled, and feathered friends who have been kind enough to grace us with theircompany.13 min - Past, Present, and Future Tense - Rev. David Schwartz
How do we balance where we are, where we've come from, and where we're going? A Palm Sunday sermon.
21 min - An Ocean of Mystery - Rev. David Schwartz
The science writer Chet Raymo describes human knowledge as an island in an ocean of mystery, and the more we learn, the longer the shoreline grows where we encounter that mystery. In this green sanctuary service, we explore a religious naturalism that joyfully engages the natural world around us.
14 min - Perseverance vs. Perseveration - Rev. David Schwartz
What's the difference between sticking with something through thick and thin (perseverance), and doing the same ineffective thing over and over (perseveration)?
19 min - The Ones Who Walk Away - Rev. David Schwartz
We benefit, directly and personally, from all kinds of systemic injustices which harm others around the world. How will we do the moral calculus of our own complicity?
