Immigration as a Moral Issue
The Rev. Jason Shelton
This past June, our Unitarian Universalist General Assembly voted to make “Immigration
as a Moral Issue” our Study/Action Issue for 2010-2014. It’s
a complex topic which is generating a lot of yelling passionate discourse
around the country. This morning we’ll explore some of the core issues
and questions at the heart of the debate, and we’ll consider some
of the ways our Unitarian Universalist faith and values might call us to
respond.

No Explanations, No Excuses, No Blame
The Rev. Gail Seavey
In the middle of the ten-day Jewish New Year, we will consider how blaming
others for one's mistakes or hurtful actions can result in division, discord
and separation; and, in contrast, how taking responsibility for them can
lead to wholeness, harmony and happiness.
