Meet the Chatham Climate Action Network
Janet Williams, joined by Jane Harris and DeeDee Holt, presented information about the Chatham Climate Action Network, including the founding of C-CAN, its organization, purpose, and mission. Janet shared highlights of some of the events and activities they’ve organized, and urged us all to get informed, get engaged, come to upcoming events (such as the Cape Cod Climate Change Collaborative's "Net Zero 2024" Conference entitled "Climate Actions for Everyone - reducing emissions, building resilience" on October 24, 2024 in Hyannis from 8:00 to 3:00 - register for free at capecodclimate.org/nz-24/), and meet people from other Cape Cod towns who are working in this area. Janet concluded the talk by suggesting that we all start showing up. "Make your voice heard. Go to select board hearings and zoning and conservation commission hearings that are impacting the resources that we are trying to protect. Ask tough questions. Be heard. Support the solutions... and get involved. Together, we can address these threats." (October 13, 2024)

“And the Leaves That are Green Turn to Brown” by Rev. Chris McMahon
Переглядів 2221 день тому
Fall is upon us. We live in a place that has four seasons. The different seasons offer us different challenges to cope with them. Life is similar. There are seasons to life. Hindus point to these seasons and acknowledge the seasons of life are also different and offer challenges and rewards we can find if we embrace them. Let us celebrate the changing seasons as a metaphor in our own lives. (Oc...
“Reflections on Prayer” by Rev. Chris McMahon
Переглядів 23Місяць тому
Most Unitarian Universalists have a hard time believing that prayer can affect the world around us and our own lives. However, prayer and its corresponding practice - meditation - are an important component of every one of the world’s religions. Might there also be a place for prayer in Unitarian Universalism?

“Jesus Commands Non-Violence” by Rev. Paul Sprecher

Turning the other cheek is one of the most-cited and least practiced commands that Jesus teaches in the Sermon on the Mount. How might our lives be different if we actually tried to practice what Jesus teaches in the Sermon on the Mount and how might the world be different if our example spread? (September 29, 2024)

"The Blessings of Imperfection" by Rev. Chris McMahon
Переглядів 26Місяць тому
To say the least, the universe and our world are not perfect places. Amid the incredible story of creation and the amazing balance we see in nature, there is imperfection. And - of course, there is great imperfection in human beings and in each of us. Such is the nature of things. But is there anything positive in all this imperfection? (September 8, 2024)
Gaia, Mother Earth and the Oneness of Everything - by Musician Jim Scott
Переглядів 32Місяць тому
We celebrated the earth with Jim Scott's original songs, readings, and personal reflections on Mother Earth or "Gaia" being one living organism. Our "spiritual response" is so timely now, as "the spirit of life on earth is in crisis.” Jim's uplifting songs provided the balance to the wake-up call, leaving us with vision and inspiration to take the healing into our own hands.

“Are Miracles Real?” by Rev. Chris McMahon
Переглядів 21Місяць тому
We hear a lot about miracles. It is a common expression: “It was a miracle that ” (fill in the blank). And of course, many, if not most, of the world’s religions talk about miracles and even describe them in detail in many scriptures. So, the big question is - are miracles real or just fantasies? What are the implications if they are real? (August 25, 2024)

"Loving Others and Loving Yourself - A Balance" by Rev. Chris McMahon
Переглядів 172 місяці тому
We live in a society that promotes selfishness - “what’s in it for me” and “you should think about yourself first.” Then there are teachings and scriptures from many of the world’s religions that call for people to “love others” - sometimes even at the expense of oneself. Well - which is true? Or - are they both true in some way? (August 11, 2024)

"Spirituality and the Sea" by Rev. Chris McMahon
Переглядів 603 місяці тому
All human beings exist in three dimensions - body, mind, and spirit. The focus on each can be different in each person, and these can change through the stages of life. Yet a balance between body, mind, and spirit is essential for a person to be happy and fulfilled. Human beings have always been drawn to the sea. Those of us who live on Cape Cod know this very well. There is a magic and mystery...

Wonderful talk, Sally! Thanks for your contributions to this important work.
My 💙 Mother A healer
Very nice channel!! Become a YT god = *promo sm* !!
Thank you.
This is one of the most inspiring looks at what it means to be alive, to opt for joy in one's life, and to be creative in any way one chooses. I hope this philosophy will help many, many people give themselves permission to do/be whatever is their passion.
Thank you for your kind remarks. We agree!
