Sunday, May 5, 2024 @ 10 a.m. – "Against the Grain" –Rev. Matt Aspin, LCUUC Minister
Today is the anniversary of William Ellery Channing’s famous Baltimore sermon titled, “Unitarian Christianity," a speech that changed the entire trajectory of our faith tradition. The thoughts presented were not widespread or even necessarily popular, but they were needed.
Do we have any radical ideas left? And if so...do we have the courage to speak them?
SECOND HOUR: Our second hour on May 5th will be an exclusive event you won't want miss. We will be screening an award-winning short film titled, "Under G-d", a review of the impact of the Dobbs decision on healthcare access for women in our country, followed by a facilitated discussion. We will be advertising this event to the wider community, so this would be another opportunity to bring a friend to LCUUC to see the kind of learning opportunities are available here.

Sunday, May 26, 2024 @ 10 a.m. – “Nirvana in 7 Days: the Buddhist Roots of Mindfulness” with Dr. Pascale Engelmajer In the Satipatthana Sutta, the Buddha tells his assembly of monks that if one can cultivate the four ways of establishing mindfulness for just 7 days, they will attain nirvana. What are these four ways of establishing mindfulness? How do they relate to our western, contemporary, commercialized idea of “mindfulness”? Might turning to the original teaching of the Buddhist tradition help us cut through the secular mindfulness hype? And can ancient Indian Buddhist texts teach us anything about how to be mindful, less distracted, and happier in today’s world?
SECOND HOUR: Dr. Pascale Engelmajer will continue her conversation about the Buddhist roots of mindfulness.
