Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Sunday Service
Speaker: Rev. Tom Rosiello, Minister
By Kate Greenaway, UUFSMA Member
When the Dalai Lama was asked to describe his religion, he quickly responded, "My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness." In the Christian tradition, the parable of the Good Samaritan teaches kindness even toward those considered enemies or outsiders. While teachings of kindness and compassion lie at the heart of every major world religion, translating these universal principles into daily practice remains a tremendous challenge."
In a service led by our minister, Rev. Tom Rosiello, we will explore the profound potential of embracing “a religion of kindness.” Rev. Rosiello observes, "We are living in a time when lack of compassion, intolerance, and hate seem to be the dominant narrative. Beyond all other challenges we face, we are experiencing a period of extraordinary unkindness."
Together, we'll consider how “a religion of kindness” might offer a meaningful response to those who attack and demonize people different from themselves. Join us as we reflect on how kindness can be a powerful tool for positive change in a divided world.
Note: This week’s service will be immediately followed by the Annual Membership Meeting.
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.
