Murray Grove
HOMECOMING:
A Mid-Atlantic UU Celebration
Saturday, September 26, 2009
10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Rev. Meg Barnhouse
Unitarian Universalist Evangelist,
Storyteller and Musician
New interim minister at Princeton
"All Fire,
No Brimstone"
Our sacred symbol is the chalice which lifts up the flame of truth, the warmth of love, the spark of the Divine within us. In the faith stories of many churches, fire represents God's threatened punishment, and it has shaped the hearts and lives of millions of our brothers and sisters on this planet. John Murray's call to "give them not hell, but hope..." is a healing message that still has tremendous life in it. At this time of the fall equinox, as the Northern Hemisphere cycles into the darkening part of the year, people of many faiths prepare for ceremonies of light and hope. It is a good time to celebrate the powerful light of the Universalist message.
