Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Sunday Service
Speaker: The Rev. Tom Rosiello
By Kate Greenaway, UUFSMA member
This week, Rev. Tom Rosiello will ask us to consider, “How are we—as a society—supposed to treat people who have less than we do?” It’s a weighty question: religions and philosophers have grappled with it since ancient times. The teachings of the Hebrew prophets, Jesus, and the Buddha are consistently aligned in their response: those with more have a special obligation to care for those with less. Yet today, we often see the opposite—budgets are balanced and profits are made on the backs of the poor, in the US and around the world. It is the unjustly compensated labor of the poor that makes the rich richer.
This Sunday, we hope you’ll join us to look at why this happens and what our Unitarian Universalist tradition calls us to do. With the children from our Young Explorers program, we’ll start with a reading from Dr. Seuss’s Yertle the Turtle—because sometimes a children’s story is the best way to reveal a grown-up truth.
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.
