The Unitarian Church of Quincy, Illinois episodes

  • In Defense of Medieval People
    The occupation of an historian might be
    described as the discipline of seeing the shadows of the
    present in the study of the past. And of seeing the shadows
    of the past in our experience of the present. With this
    perspective might come an acute consciousness of
    context.

  • Confessions of a Person from a Rich Country
    By every measure of wealth, America is a
    rich country. But if we should attempt to distinguish
    between "Having" and "Being," how
    should we measure the quality of our "Being;"
    what kind of language can we use? How can we measure the
    wealth of a society in terms of the richness of its
    "Being" rather than of its
    "Having?"

  • Getting Good at Doing Good
    What do you love about the life that you
    have? We're listening. Are you ready to see that our
    world is waiting to be made better? Yes -- we
    can.

  • My Journey With Money
    Money is ultimately about power. Either I
    have power over it and freedom over how I use it. Or it has
    power over me and I am constrained in how I use it. It is a
    tool and a means to an end, rather than an end itself. When
    money becomes an end in itself, it becomes addictive. All
    forms of power become addictive when they become ends in
    themselves.

  • Struggling With Easter
    Easter is too big, too grand, too old, and
    too much fun to ignore. But what can a person with a
    skeptical theology find to celebrate? The spring flowers
    and a few metaphors about new beginnings don't seem
    like enough. What if we dig a little
    deeper?
    30 min
  • By Accident
    We risk our lives in moments of
    inattention. The accident that we prepare for is not
    necessarily the one that happens. Ultimately, our response
    to accidents has to include a degree of acceptance and
    gratitude for our survival.

  • Theologizing Warfare
    There are no 'winners' in warfare.
    The damage done to the souls of the 'victors' is
    easily as great as the damage visited upon the
    'vanquished'. Via Lincoln's Second Inaugural
    Address, we find a view of warfare as like a web. A web
    which we did not (and do not) weave. Instead, it is a web
    in which we are caught and from which our instincts alone
    are insufficient to allow escape.

  • Kindness Matters
    Isn't this the realm where the Golden
    Rule applies? "Kindness" in this context means
    simply, "being good." The impact of unsolicited,
    random, acts of kindness is incalculable. The cost is
    negligable.
