SUMMARY:The Center of Our Faith: Could it be Love?
DESCRIPTION:An Adult Learning Program at First Parish \nWednesdays October 25 and November 1\, 7 pm \nLed by Rev. Marta Flanagan\, Lead Minister \nIn the First Parish Parlor \nWhat do you Believe?  What do we believe?  For the last 40 years Unitarian Universalists have pointed to the “Seven Principles” at the core of our religious tradition.  But for centuries it wasn’t that way.  Currently Unitarian Universalists in this country are considering a revision of the beliefs and values we hold at the center of our faith.  Marta Flanagan will lead a two-session program on the beliefs and ideas that have been central to Unitarian Universalists in the past and what beliefs and ideas we might make central in the future.  The program will involve reading articles in preparation of our discussions as well as some exploration of our individual beliefs.  The program will also dovetail with sermons Marta is preaching on October 15 and November 5. \nReading materials will be sent to registrants via email. \nReadings for November 1 session. Click to view or download. \nPlease register in advance for “Center of Our Faith” via Realm. If you do not have a Realm account\, you may register by emailing the First Parish office: office@firstparish.info
