The Unitarian Church of Quincy, Illinois episodes

  • Transforming Fear
    There are times for taking reasonable
    precautions, but we needn't live in fear. Let our
    actions grow out of the love that lives inside of us rather
    than the fear that also lives inside of us. It's worth
    taking the risk.
    28 min
  • Historians View Emancipation
    This is the story of Lincoln's changing
    mind as he followed advice received from Senator Orville
    Browning; the Senator from Illinois whose home was in
    Quincy. Dave Costigan traces the path that Abraham Lincoln
    followed toward the Emancipation
    Proclamation.
    26 min
  • How Do You Keep On Loving?
    "To be or not to be?" No, that is
    NOT the question! There is more to it than that. It has to
    do with the balance between being for oneself and being for
    others. And just being more.
    23 min
  • Why Are You Here?
    Is this only an abstract existential
    question? Or could an answer give purpose and meaning to
    our lives? Should we be asking this question about our
    presence in, our psyche, our family, our church, our
    community, AND in the universe?

  • Peace On Earth
    There are similarities between the
    Franciscan Catholic tradition and the Principles of
    Unitarian Universalism. One point of intersection is the
    pursuit of Peace; Peace on Earth.

  • Navigating the World Wide Web
    One principle of our Unitarian-Universalist
    faith is "Respect for the interdependent web of all
    existence of which we are a part." Nic Cable finds a
    doppelganger web in the internet's World Wide Web.
    Something similar to a spider's web, it is
    interconnected throughout its continuity, and it feeds the
    spider.

  • What's Your Relationship With the Universe?
    Two people will often interpret the same
    facts differently. Our stories about the facts are often
    rooted in a larger, more encompassing world-view
    (universe-view, if you will). It is the space between the
    facts that we fill up with our biases, our prejudices.
    They're often hidden, even from ourselves, and barely
    revealed in our stories.
    27 min
  • Transforming Anger
    Our anger is capable of destroying us. If
    we are to create the healing and justice so desperately
    needed in our world, we must acknowledge our anger and our
    fears. Anger can become a means of focusing that gives us
    the energy to act upon our convictions with courage and
    respect for the feelings of others.
    32 min
  • Whence Cometh My Hope?
    In the face of the possibility of failure,
    hope is an attitude towards the present. Hope says that
    trying is worthwhile. Hope is a bias towards action. Hope
    is a statement of faith. Rather than force fitting yourself
    into somebody else's faith, the better approach is to
    introspect until you can find where your faith
    is.
    35 min
  • Off to See the Wizard
    As Rev. Scott Aaseng begins his minsitry
    with us, he finds parallels with Dorothy's famous
    journey down the yellow brick road;. She realized that she
    already had available to her everything that she really
    wanted to gain.
