In explaining our UU faith to others, we tend to think of reasons why people might want to join a congregation like ours. But the reasons why not to join can be instructive too. (Philosophy teaches us that we can sometimes learn a great deal about something, by examining what it isn’t.) If you have friends or acquaintances who you think might like to know more about our religion (or just know more about you!), invite them to attend this service. They may not decide to join us–but at least they’ll know why. And you yourself may end up knowing a little more too.
Rev. Dr. Tony Larsen recently retired from being the minister at Unitarian Church North in Mequon, Wisconsin for 4 years. Before that he served 42 years at Olympia Brown UU Church in Racine, WI. Tony was born in South San Francisco in 1949 and studied to be a Catholic priest for 10 years before switching to Unitarian Universalism. He has written a book entitled Trust Yourself? You Have the Power (Impact Publishers, 1979), co-authored a UUA curriculum called A Catechism for Unitarian Universalists (1988), contributed a chapter on “UU evangelism” in Salted With Fire (Skinner House, 1995), and contributed a chapter on the spiritual practice of generosity in Everyday Spiritual Practice (Skinner House, 1999).
