Unitarian Universalist Christians

Early reflections from Ron Robinson:

I have just gotten back and haven’t even unpacked yet so will give more full report later. But the buzz kept me going for a few extra days in NYC–worship that moved and healed, the awesome building with the fantastic tile mural of Jesus washing the feet of the disciple that was placed over the alter in the sanctuary, the closing singing of revival hymn sing and word-saying about what moved people in the few days, the new friends made and energy soaring.  Each revival is different and this one for me was the Revival of Big Ideas for our movement, and commitment toward them, small group bible study on the Lazarus passage that truly deepened my understanding of the power and wide range of that passage from John, sharing of spiritual journeys and struggles, the weeping from communion service and great homily and service by Jeffrey Gould of Britian, the soaring taize music of Chris Walton and the powerfully led musical singing by our musician in residence, Ken Nofziger of Eastern Mennonite University, Peter Boulatta’s inspiring seamless prayer and healing service, that look of wonder on one person’s face as they came up after a service and said, the old old story, “I didn’t know you could do that at a UU church.” I am forgetting so much and will add to it later.
