The Unitarian Church of Quincy, Illinois episodes

  • Liberal Lights and Bushel Baskets
    In 1956, our minister was Rev. Thomas
    Maloney, a 1952 graduate of Harvard. Ellen has discovered a
    copy of one of his sermons, delivered during the McCarthy
    Era to our congregation. In her re-delivery of this sermon,
    Ellen offers valuable insights into the quality of the
    Liberal Religion that we practice in our
    community.

  • The Law of Threefold Return
    Every culture has a phrase which
    encapsulates the idea that it is better to be generous
    towards our fellow travelers than to be mean or stingy. Our
    resident Wizard chose the Sunday after Epiphany to bring us
    this gift.
    36 min
  • Growing Up as a Muslim in India During the Partition
    Dr. Zakiah Ali grew up in the midst of an
    historical event whose ramifications have not yet seen the
    beginnings of resolution. Her perspective and the
    recollections of her childhood reveal the empathy and
    understanding which sparkled during her 30 year career as a
    physician in our community.
    33 min
  • Joining the Losers
    We always look forward to the clarity and
    depth of perception that Doug Muder brings to our
    congregation. Here, he tackles the subject of the tricks
    that our minds play upon our selves, and how clever people
    use these tricks to manipulate us towards our own
    detriment.
    37 min
  • The Evolution of Lincoln's Theology
    Reg Ankrom, the executive director of the
    Historical Society of Quincy and Adams County, is a student
    of Lincoln and the men and women who influenced him. In
    this talk, Reg traces the threads of Lincoln's
    Theological Thought.
    28 min
  • Sorry, You're a Role Model!
    It's about admiring others. It's
    about wishing to be more than you are. Let it be about
    loving someone near and dear to you, rather than someone
    remote and far away. But don't ever let it be about
    despising who you are; about you despising your
    humanity.
    22 min
  • Let Us Pray?
    What if you ignore the metaphysics and
    theology surrounding prayer and just look at the doing of
    it? What beneficial practices has folk wisdom encoded into
    prayer over the centuries? How many of them can we rescue
    without falling into the corresponding
    traps?
    36 min
  • The Storm is Passing Over
    Five years after Hurricane Katrina's
    devastation, we hear about the Unitarian Churches in the
    New Orleans area; about the level of destruction, about the
    pace of their recovery, and about the spirit that keeps
    them moving on.
    25 min
  • Love to Love
    The longest serving minister in the long
    history of this congregation takes his leave. In this talk
    Rob thanks the congregation and offers his hopes for our
    future.
    32 min
  • Consumer's Guide to Choosing a Religion
    Like most of us, Jeff was "born
    into" a religion. Catholicism in his case, with
    parochial school and all the trappings. Jeff escaped that
    trap and found UUism to be a more congenial religious point
    of view. In his lively and charming discourse, Jeff
    encourages each of us to find the religion that suits us
    best.
