Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Sunday Service
Speakers: Paul McKenna
By Kate Greenaway, UUFSMA member
Join us on April 12 as UUFSMA welcomes back Paul McKenna for a service focusing on the growing importance of interfaith dialogue. Around the world, we are witnessing a historic shift towards the integration of religions: people of different faiths are building new relationships of respect, friendship, and cooperation. This phenomenon involves a movement away from tribal consciousness to a more unified global consciousness. While this movement is still unfolding, there’s a possibility that something new and wonderful is emerging. Paul will explore what is happening in this evolving movement and why it matters.
As Unitarian Universalists, we come from a tradition that draws on many sources of wisdom, making this conversation especially meaningful. Together, we will reflect on how authentic dialogue across religious differences can inform individuals, enrich spiritual traditions, and support the broader work of peace and justice in the world.
Paul McKenna teaches, writes, and consults on world religions, the Golden Rule, and interfaith dialogue. He created the interfaith Golden Rule Poster, which features golden rule texts from thirteen different religions – now translated into over 20 languages, achieving international recognition. Currently, Paul is investigating the transformation of consciousness that happens when we enter into genuine relationships with people, traditions, cultures, ethnicities, and religions different from our own. A Canadian by nationality, Paul regularly attends UUFSMA services when visiting San Miguel.
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.
