24 August Jesus: Myth or Mystic? Or, How Unitarians Helped Me Find a Christology I Can Live With

Speaker:Doug Federhart, M.Div. Host: Helen Duritsa Musicians:Doug Federhart & Stuart Holland

Dare we talk about Jesus in a UU church? And what does it mean to "come out" as a christian (small "c") in this setting? WBUUC's Director of Congregational Life will attempt to answer this, and other questions, in this talk. Come ready, not to be proselytized, but to be engaged in a lively conversation around Doug's understandings of the Jesus myth and what it might mean for us today.

    Come into this place which we make holy by our presence.  Come in with all of your vulnerabilities and strengths, fears and anxieties, loves and hopes.  For here you need not hide, not pretend, nor be anything other than who you are and who you are called to be.

    Come into this place where we can touch and be touched, heal and be healed, forgive and be forgiven. Come into this place where the ordinary is sanctified, the human is celebrated, the compassionate is expected.Come into this place, together we make it a holy place.
    -Rebecca Edmiston-Lange
