Speaker: Rev. Jim Coakley
Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Sunday Service
By Kate Greenaway, UUFSMA member
Join us this Sunday, as we begin a time of year when many cultures celebrate light triumphing over darkness, both literally (the winter solstice) and spiritually (hope, renewal, and faith).
We will lift up the ancient Greek goddess Hecate, often depicted with three faces and holding a torch at a crossroads to guide travelers through darkness and the unknown. Rev. Jim will share his thoughts on how this powerful metaphor of light, guiding us spiritually into an uncertain future filled with crossroads, offers us hope.
Rev. Jim Coakley's ministry embodies the theme of his 2016 ordination: "Growing in Spirit to Help Heal the World." His ministry has always focused on small congregations, and he currently serves two in eastern Wisconsin. He and his husband live in Appleton but plan to visit San Miguel de Allende often now that his daughter and son-in-law have relocated there. Rev. Jim is a graduate of Meadville Lombard Theological School, holding a Master of Divinity, and was ordained by the Appleton UU Fellowship.
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.
