Preaching
Sermon: Whom Do You Serve
My introductory sermon to the Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley. My opening words are from Sweet Honey in the Rock’s song “We Are”, which the choir sung after my sermon. Topics: Unitarian Universalism, embodiment, sexuality education, reproductive justice, power, Dr. George Tiller.
Sermon: Into the Woods
If only the woods were the scariest thing we had to confront– while the church was putting on a production of Sondheim’s Into the Woods, the congregation was dealing the news of Gabrielle Gifford being being shot and difficult revelations of abuse in the local community.
Praying
God of Many Names, Prayer for Healing
Dancing
A liturgical dance offered in the wake of heartbreaking news.
Dancer/choreographer Sarah Bush and I co-lead a workshop with congregants that produced this liturgical piece for Easter Sunday.
