Trumbore As a non-belief centered religious tradition, our theological source of love and hope isn't collectively defined. Yet few, if any, would want to live without them. They are critical to our well being. Thankfully we can cultivate love and hope together in a way that transcends our individual beliefs. Take a break from shopping and seasonal preparations and get recharged. Note: had a microphone failure so sound is a little scratchy. Readings done by Dawn Dana.

Revering the birth of a Savior isn't how many Unitarian Universalists celebrate this season. Yet many of our values spring from the Christian tradition. Can we love and follow Jesus and be a Humanist too? Sun, 04 Dec 2011 11:10:00 EST http://www.trumbore-media.org/podcast/Occupy-Wall-Street-Messages-and-Meanings.mp3 Samuel A. Trumbore Much is in process as this movement spreads to places like Albany and Schenectady. Getting past the many complaints, concerns and agendas, why has this movement taken off? What is the source of energy that drives it? Where is it going? What are the deeper messages and meanings of this movement?

Being present with a prophet requires a willingness to witness one's resistance and reactivity. It requires allowing unpleasant emotions to surface. And it requires a willingness to consider being changed by the encounter … for the better.

Trumbore Increased border security and immigration status checking are two of our national responses to the September 11th attacks. These enhanced security measures are supposed to protect us from terrorist infiltration. The side effects of increased enforcement are separating families, endangering documented immigrant workers in our economy and killing thousands of people in the Arizona desert. As our national leaders pass the immigration hot potato around, this human rights crisis continues to get worse. And now Unitarian Universalist Association is asking us to respond and take a stand.
