Acceptance? It’s Problematic
Rev. Dave Lutz
Throughout this year I have been speaking on our seven UU
Principles. This program returns to number three, about the problems
that come with “promoting acceptance.” Sometimes distance and
cutoff pass for acceptance (“I accept Aunt Florence – I just don’t

Communion Service 10:00 am
Reader: Jeanne Zang
Monthly gathering that celebrates our community of faith in action.
Dr. King And The Beloved Community 11:00 am
Celeste Taylor
For Dr. King, The Beloved
Community was not a lofty utopian goal to
be confused with the rapturous image of the Peaceable Kingdom, in
which lions and lambs coexist in idyllic harmony. Rather, The Beloved
Community was for him a realistic, achievable goal that could be
attained by a critical mass of people committed to and trained in the
philosophy and methods of nonviolence. Celeste Taylor will be
connecting this vision to contemporary civil rights, peace and justice
issues as we observe this holiday commemorating Dr. King’s life and
work.

The Sweetest Fat
Rev. Dave Lutz
One man who pursued “a free and responsible search for truth and
meaning,” which is our fourth UU Principle, was Walt Whitman. In
Leaves of Grass he describes his search, concluding “I find no
sweeter fat than sticks to my own bones.” This program focuses on
each of our own efforts to find “the sweetest fat.”
Sunday Service at Allegheny
Unitarian Universalist Church begins at 11 o'clock.
