Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Sunday Service
Speaker: Marco Vangalisti, UUFSMA member
by Kate Greenaway, UUFSMA member
Join us this week as UUFSMA member Marco Vangelisti traces his journey from harsh religious dogma toward an experiential search for spiritual meaning. Moving from alpine forests and rigid religion to meditation halls and open-hearted communities, Marco shares a story of letting go of certainty and discovering belonging not in answers but in shared curiosity, covenant, and ethical care.
Marco fled the modern Italian Catholic Inquisition in his early 20s for the less dogmatic, more experimental California of the late ’80s. With the safety of nine time zones between him and his very religious mother, he began exploring diverse paths of spiritual growth. Marco moved to SMA with his partner, Maureen, in early 2022. Today, he feels most at home in covenant-based communities where curiosity is encouraged, religious dogma is optional, and independent thinking is welcome.
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.
