Seattle Unity

This Sunday was a real life 3-D demonstration of our October theme of Wisdom Keepers and Wisdom Traditions, with our Chaplain dedication ceremony, Rev. Diane's message weaving in stories from Unity Village, and master singer Tiffany Wilson coaching 2 of her students to support the worship arts lineup. Walking the talk indeed.
Thank you, to Tiffany Wilson, and platform volunteers Jewel, Ayana, Annette, Tim, Scott, and Kathy, plus all the incredible chaplains, online and in person, as well as houseband Olivia, Jesse and David, and all the other staff, crew and community members who make Sundays happen.

October is about Wisdom Traditions and Wisdom Keepers, and this week's examples are mystics, mentors, teachers, advice-givers, and those who can balance seeming opposites. See this whole service vid at our website under 'services'.

A very fine service indeed, with guest speaker Rev. Michael Brooks. Just like with buildings, the taller you get, the better your foundation needs to be. And As Rev. Michael says, people don't generally SEE a really good footer. Nobody goes around saying "wow, what a great looking footer on that structure". What makes us strong is often not what is easiest to see from the outside.

Sacred Action can be overwhelming - where do we start? What's most urgent, or doable, or feels good, or feels crunchy, but in a good way?
