This Sunday our 1000-plus Unitarian Universalist congregations will be celebrating the ties that bind each to all.  We have learned that by binding together and supporting each other we can make sure that more and more people can find a liberal religious community and experience our liberating message "that diversity need not mean divisiveness" and that each person has unique gifts and can contribute something special to building beloved community.

"Native American Discovery Day"
Rev. Clyde Grubbs

For twenty thousand years, indigenous Americans developed their cultures which included wonderful art and wisdom, and gave us an extraordinary bounty of cultivated foods including potatoes, sweet potatoes, chiles, beans, herbs, wild rices, tomatoes and grains.  

And then the Americas were conquered by Spain, France, England, Holland, and other European powers which caused tremendous loss of human life and constituted a setback in ethical and spiritual development.

Come and Discover America.

"What Price Paradise?"
Kathleen McGregor
In the early Christian church,Paradise was considered place on earth as well as a figurative place. Heaven as a place in the distant sky did not come into use until the next millennium. What can the imagery of paradise, based on much earlier descriptions from Genesis to ancient Sumerian myths, teach us today? What is the price we have paid for moving paradise to the heavens, and can we again capture heaven on earth?

"Counting What?"
Beth Leehy
Exploring events in our lives and what we learn from them. Recently I've been adding this statement as a tag line to my emails: "The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings."  ~Eric Hoffer. And indeed, it has been easy to count some of the blessings in my life, but I have to dig deeper to count the blessings available to me in the "war" in Iraq, economic globalization, global warming, mass layoffs and other larger events that affect all of us. Come, let us enumerate together and create synergy (and music) together!
