The Unitarian Church of Quincy, Illinois episodes

  • Digging a Hole
    Think of manual labor as a spiritual
    experience. Confer a fitting respect towards those whose
    work brings them fulfillment. Beware of the trap of
    equating personal self-worth with the worth of the monetary
    reward. Above all, beware of finding your identity in your
    occupation. Please, be kind towards those who must work in
    unfulfilling occupations in order to live.

  • Spirituality and the Humanist
    Nothing throws cold water on a Spiritual
    discussion like opening a dictionary! This understanding
    doesn't deter Doug from positing and explaining his own
    definition: Spirituality is an awareness of the gap between
    what you can experience and what you can
    describe.

  • Dying to See the Doctor
    Too often, families have taken advantage of
    the economies of NOT having health insurance, of NOT seeing
    the doctor, of making the assumption that they were
    "just fine;" only to discover too late, they had
    neglected to recognize early warning signs of diseases that
    a simple check-up with the doctor should have uncovered.
    Shame on us!

  • Character Studies
    Whatever happened to Character? When we
    were likely to have the same neighbors for most of our
    lives, we needed to attend to our neighbors' perception
    of us. Is that an outmoded idea? Or is it just that modern
    news has a jaundiced slant towards the most sensational
    stories? Where has all the Character gone?
    16 min
  • Peace and Peacemaking in an age of Endless War
    During the 2010 General Assembly, a draft
    statement, "Creating Peace" was brought to a
    vote. It was approved to be an official Statement of
    Conscience of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA).
    Today's talk places the statement in
    perspective.
    35 min
  • Seeing the One Which Has Opened
    Transitions like births, deaths and
    marriages are life events, often marked with religious
    observances. They are very much like the transition that
    our congregation faces as we grow into an unknowable
    future, and contemplate an as-yet-unknowable, new
    minister.
    21 min
  • When Ideals Become Obsessions
    We are presented here, with both an
    advocate and an example of the primacy of rational thought.
    Eschewing what Jean Paul Sartre called "Bad
    Faith" and what she characterizes as
    "Obsession;" Alexis leads us by example, toward
    our acceptance of our responsibility to direct the course
    of our lives.
    36 min
  • Weirdos
    Martin Luther King, Jr. once said,
    "There are some things to which we all should be
    'Maladjusted'." Perhaps he was saying that we
    should all be 'Weirdos'.}
    30 min
  • Jefferson's Bible, Lucy, and the Road to Unitaria
    Telling the tale of his hitchiking past
    Religions and Religious cults, great and small; his study
    of anthropology and his affinity with the Jeffersonian view
    of Biblical study; Terrell Dempsey details his journey
    toward membership in Quincy's Unitarian
    Church.
