Everyday Wonder
March 22nd
Where Did I Come From?
How Did I Get Here?
We can use the word “wonder” in a variety of ways. On one end, we have the wonder of the cosmos and of atoms, the things that bring us awe, great questions that will never be answered fully. On the other end, we can wonder how to spell a word, or what’s the weather outside, quotidian questions answered easily and immediately. I wish to explore the large space in between those two kinds of wondering, a realm where knowing dances with unknowing, and to suggest spiritual practices we might employ to encourage everyday wonder.
The Unitarian minister, Rev. Fred Wooden, challenged the Fellowship to learn more about its Unitarian roots and we accepted the challenge!
The 3-part series began in December when three members of the Fellowship described the surprising evolution of their personal religious and spiritual beliefs.
Now, Part 2 will explore the roots of Unitarianism and how controversies led to changing beliefs. Unitarian “heretics” were burned at the stake? Who were they? And why? Was that evolution in belief still relevant to current UU controversies?

The Ten Commandments are back in the news, thanks to the Texas Legislature. Steve Brooks deconstructs them to offer a fresh take on morality and its supposed opposite: moral relativism. He shows how relativism can be a source of human progress, and how the key moral question is not, “Who is my God?” but “Who are my relatives?” Want to take the M-word back from the immoral minority? Here’s a way to start.
"I was drawn to this fellowship by the tradition of open discussion, devotion to equality for all, and the concept of individual thought, expression, and search for meaning as detailed in our Values and Aspirations."
