"The Light and the Windows"
Dr. Gary Dorrien,
Guest Speaker
"I am not sure exactly what will happen on March 23, as I am accustomed to riffing in the moment. But there will surely be a sliver from my recent memoir, Over from Union Road: My Christian-Left-Intellectual Life, which will include my recollection of meeting and befriending Forrest Church, which will lead to a reflection on Forrest, Emerson, the intertwining of love and death, the Light shining through different windows, and the intertwined U's of the UU tradition." Dr. Gary Dorrien
Dr. Gary Dorrien is a professor at Union Theological Seminary in New York City, dedicated to the study of ethics, religion and social justice. Dr. Dorrien has written over twenty books and is a historian and storyteller dedicated to reminding religious liberals about the multi-generational work needed for racial justice and labor rights. All are welcome!
HIGHLIGHTS
meet our
minister
Rev. Daniel Lawlor
Dear UU Congregation of the Hudson Valley,
Our religious tradition honors the many spiritual pathways that affirm the worth, dignity and the interdependence of all life.
From the care and intentionality practiced by the worship and music committees in preparation for Sunday service, to the kindness and creativity in Religious Education and Arts Committee to the deep commitment for Allies for Racial Equity and LGBTQIA+ equality, love is at the center of our faith. My wife, Yumi, and I are inspired by caring communities seeking to connect and do good. I am humbled and honored to be your part-time Contract Minister, and hope to see you soon, whether in our Sunday worship or wider community!
Rev. Daniel
who we are
Unitarian Universalism is a covenantal, non-creedal religion-- meaning we are bound together not by dogma or doctrine, but by our commitment to be in intentional and thoughtful relationship with one another as we walk the journey of seeking the truth.
As a community that is committed to living, working, and worship with each other in ways that foster individual and collective growth, we agree to live by our covenant.
To create an atmosphere of trust and safety, we agree to call each other back into covenant and to forgive ourselves and others.
