Minister’s Message
“Progressive faith offers a wide welcome for those who come to its door. It has hope to offer, and it gives people room to breathe. It theological boundaries make a life giving, affirming faith possible—providing a defining structure of meaning. Within the theological house of progressive faith there is room for tremendous variety, diversity, and dissent. But there is also a defining focus: a devotion to the flourishing of life.” – A House for Hope: The Promise of Progressive Religion for the Twenty-First Century John A. Buehrens & Rebecca Ann Parker
The message of my ministry and the ministry of this congregation calls for a ministry of hope and the devotion to the flourishing of life. We add our voice to the many calling for us all to engage the world with hope, compassion, respect, kindness and love. Unitarian Universalism has a tradition of shared ministry, which in part means that I as the minister and the entire congregation work together to facilitate opportunities for healing, wholeness and transformation not just for each other, but also our society and the planet.
May that be so,
Reverend David
