The Epic of Gilgamesh is the Story of your Life
The Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest written story in the world -- 4,000 years old -- but remarkably, still speaks to what it is to be human in the world: heartbroken and reconciled to loss.
Rev. David retells the story and reflects on it in this, excerpted from a 1/12/25 service at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder.

❤ I appreciate not having to do it by myself.
thanks so much for an inspiring talk on getting through this crisis of politics. Glad it's on line so I can watch now, Saturday.
Me when im in heresy competition and my opponent is bro
This is wonderfully spoken. I think this resonates a lot with me, and sounds very close to what I believe in
Is there an fully length video? Like with music as if I would be attending? And are you planning to upload something every week?
For sure -- we livestream each Sunday at 11am MT on the UA-cam channel, and you can find full recordings of past services (including this one) in this playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLx4getSvnSJdndZHycNO7_UC2gPbDCqmv.html
Thank you very much for this framing of the principles. I’ve been struggling with the change and I appreciate this perspective.
Define sacred - define liberalism does that include transhumanism ?
A very astute question, Mme, and one that those historical worthies who originated liberalism from the ferment of the European Enlightenment, Scottish Enlightenment & English Enlightenment, i.e., John Locke, David Ricardo, Adam Smith, J S Mill, Wm Hazlitt, F-M de Voltaire, S T Coleridge, John Bright, Richard Cobden, etc, might not have had any immediate answer for. However, Friedrich Nietzsche might have an opinion -- were he still alive.
As I listened to the sermon, the thought came to me spontaneously: no man has ever spoken like this man. Thank you, Reverend Schwartz.
Apologies! I had the stream showing the wrong source so the camera feed cannot be seen until about the 11:43 mark, toward the beginning of the chalice lighting. - Michael
I just watched the streaming of Lisa's memorial service. I want to echo the sentiments of JP. I feel very deeply for each and every one of her family. We, Nancy and I, will miss Lisa very much and we send our love to Dylan, Josh, And Art who so sensitively honored Lisa.
Thanks for streaming the memorial service. Diane & I send our condolences to all. Lisa was a fantastic colleague and friend, and we will miss her deeply. We sincerely appreciate all the beautiful reflections that family members and friends shared.
Well put, thank you!
Profound sermon, thank you!
My Mom grew up in Hanska and her/my ancestors helped found the Nora Unitarian Church. Many family members, including my Dad, are buried up on that hill. My aunt wrote about the rich Scandinavian and musical history of the town. My uncle once said something like, "I'm glad I grew up as a unitarian because I wouldn't have been smart enough to find it on my own!"
very moving song!
Meaningful service, thank you.
I am watching it on Sunday evening as I was busy today so I am alone but I want to watch online to hear views I agree with.
We're so glad you can join in!
It was not a total eclipse in Colorado-- many of us traveled to the path of totality. Even though a partial eclipse of the sun is nice, there is a world of difference between a partial and total eclipse. I urge the younger folks in the congregation to view a total solar eclipse whenever you are able!
Amen 🙏
Brave and Beautiful!
Wonderful. Thank you
God bless your work.
Lovely … hope to see you for Solstice Eve … Michele Marie
Uu community is wonderful
R.I.P. ❤
I had no idea UU history was so full of inventors. Feeling even more proud to be a part of this community
I'm very new to the UU community. This sermon has been so incredibly helpful. Thank you!

this is one of the most respectful and kind sermons ive ever watched. its nice to see a christian church discuss trans people like regular people instead of calling them 'the trans' or 'transgenders'. the bible and jesus literally say to love everyone no matter what and i feel like you expressed all of that so well. this is the side of christianity that needs to be put on display, not the bigoted and those with hate in their heart. the bible never says not to be trans and i believe that repressing or ignoring your internal self will only drive you away from god. god wants you to be the person he made you to be and when someone is trans, that is an obstacle that god gave them to bring them closer to him and have a space to be themselves. thank you for educating people on things that christians often ignore or condemn. keep doing what youre doing man.
Amazing choir!
Thoughtful message and great choral music in this service. Loved it.
This was a great service!
She changed my life forever and I’m better of a person than I ever thought I could be due to our journey together. Love you Judith. Im so sorry I didn’t see you before the end🙏💗🙏 love you Judith. (45mins)
There was a sound issue at the beginning of the service that was corrected at around the 3:14 mark. Apologies for the inconvenience.
