Our regular Sunday Gathering. An opportunity for wisdom, joy, solace, and community – followed by a healthy dose of caffeine, cake, and conversation.
Gatherings include live music, a story for children, singing, poetry and literature, a talk from our minister or a member of our Ministry Team, and time for sharing joys and sorrows.
The theme of this week's Gathering will be Who We Are, What We Want, Who We Include.
New Unity stands for love and justice. We work to become more loving and justice seeking as individuals and as a community. We strive to make the larger world a place with more compassion, understanding, and fairness for all.
We also aim to be radically inclusive, which means that everyone is welcome and that we want everyone to know that they are accepted. In many ways, radical inclusion and our purpose of love and justice fit perfectly together.
There are times, however, when radical inclusion may feel in conflict with our mission and our ethos. When we are faced with political or religious views that clash with our identity and what we want in the world, it can be challenging to live up to both our purpose and our pledge of radical inclusion.
Today – perspectives around who we are, what we want to see in the world, and who we are ready to accept amongst us.
