Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Sunday Service
Speakers: Rev. Tom Rosiello, Minister
By Kate Greenaway
UUFSMA member
Unitarian Universalism has a rich history that is deeply intertwined with that of the United States. On Sunday, July 6th, our Minister, Rev. Tom Rosiello, will explore this connection as the US recently marked the 250th anniversary of an uprising against authoritarian rule—and how our community now finds itself at another pivotal moment when democratic principles face significant challenges.
In this timely and thought-provoking service, Rev. Rosiello will examine how our faith—rooted in the democratic ideals of the Enlightenment—can respond when confronted once again with the attempted imposition of authoritarian rule.
How can we, as a community committed to the inherent worth and dignity of every person, actively resist the dismantling of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs? When scientific knowledge and recognition of the interconnected web of life come under attack, what is our responsibility as Unitarian Universalists? As compassion and kindness toward the marginalized remain central to our principles, how do we respond when government actions are driven by divisiveness and retribution?
These questions aren't merely philosophical—they challenge us to live our values during deeply unsettling times. Yet as Rev. Rosiello will remind us, this cannot be a time for despair. Instead, it calls for renewed commitment and collective action.
Join us as we explore practical ways to "keep the faith together" and embrace our UU principles as tools for positive change during these challenging times. Together, we will find strength in community and purpose in our shared values.
Unitarian Universalism is a liberal faith centered on shared values for living. Our UU Fellowship welcomes people of all ages, races, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities. We gather not around a belief in divinity, but around community, love, compassion, social justice, reverence for nature, and the spirituality of music within the interconnected web of existence.
