The Unitarian Church of Quincy, Illinois episodes

  • R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
    Idealism is often uncomfortable alongside
    pragmatism. Is it possible that pragmitically, idealistic
    Democracy could produce high quality solutions to political
    questions? Perhaps it depends upon the characteristics of
    the systems used to ask the questions.

  • Living the Peace of Advent with Tich Nhat Hahn.
    When we speak of peace, our first thought
    is of peace in the world. We look for an absence of
    violence and conflict, warfare and crime. But there is a
    more immediate level of peace, the peace within. The
    Budhist tradition offers us detailed techniques for
    developing inner peace. And the Vietnamese Budhist writer,
    Tich Nhat Hahn describes them with a beautiful
    simplicity.

  • Paper or Plastic? Reflections on the Difficulty of Life.
    Rob moves us towards the enjoyment of our
    place in the sun. Using the Latin term, ipseity, we can
    find an understanding of our selves lying outside of the
    province of sin and guilt and aescetic ideals. We hear
    Nietzsche saying, . . . that the sick should not make the
    healthy sick, should surely be our supreme concern on
    earth.
    29 min
  • The Pathology of Alienation
    Rev. Delap, retired from the Presbyterian
    Ministry, directs our attention to the message of
    reconciliation and forgiveness that is contained in the
    ministry of Jesus. He recounts his efforts towards the
    World Peace, a Christian goal which he has promoted
    throughout his own ministry.
    35 min
  • Confucius and Jesus
    Jesus is often credited as a great teacher
    of moral principles by the Christian community. Writings
    handed down from Confucius contain a larger body of moral
    teaching than any other moral teacher, including Jesus!
    Today, we explore Confucian wisdom.
    26 min
  • Tenth Anniversary
    A very special service honoring the Tenth
    Anniversary of the ministry of the Reverend Dr. Rob
    Manning. Remarks from Fr. Bill Burton, Ellen Taylor, Frieda
    Marshall, Dr. Kerry Manning, and Dr. Rob Manning. Music
    from Kim Starkey.
    35 min
  • Why do we Never Have Enough?
    In this society of consumption, the desire
    to accumulate is driven by the primitive urge to survive.
    Adam Smith's economic model provides a solution to the
    efficient distribution of SCARCE commodities. How do we
    cope when "stuff" isn't scarce any
    more?
