"Islam: The Faith"
Many people have asked for a sermon on Islam. In conversation I
have learned that what was really desired was a look at how the
Islamic teachings of love and peace have been corrupted by those
who would hate and make war. Today I will launch a three-part series
by looking at the basics of Islam: What are the key teachings of
the Qu'ran? What is the history of the faith's development?
November 12 — Rev. Brian J. Kiely
“Islam: The Fanatics”
In part two of the series I will look at the kind of culture in
certain nations that allow the corruption of Islam's message for
political ends. I'll also look at how these corrupted messages are
spread and how the west aids that spread.
November 19 — Intern Minister Marguerite

“Hanukkah and Holidays: What Are They All About?”
Hanukkah is a joyous Jewish holiday commemorating a meaningful event
in Jewish history. How is this holiday celebrated? What does it
have in common with other holidays? Why does the human spirit seek
to create holidays? Does the Unitarian Universalist tradition need
a holiday of its own?
The choir will join us for the early part of
this service.

“Islam: The Future”
In part three we'll look to the future. We are witnessing the exponential
growth of anti-western hatred and violence around the world. It
claims the banner of Islam much to the disgust of many faithful
and moderate people forced to live in fear for their lives. Is there
peace in sight? Where can we go from here as liberal religious westerners?
