Rev. Lane Campbell joins us. Lane reflects, “Let us explore the church as a center of teaching and learning. Putting Religious Education at the center of our religious movement gives us the opportunity to see where we are called to teach and where we are called to learn. Out of a long tradition of valuing education, Unitarians, Universalists, and Unitarian Universalists honor the lifelong learner in us all.” Convener: Rev. Michael Nelson.

Katie Kingery-Page, Kim Belanger, and Rev Michael Nelson explore nurturing. They reflect, “The role of mothering, inclusive of the nurturing provided by men, is often accompanied by burdens of guilt and shame and provokes in us the need to deal with our own stories. The less we talk about shame, the more control it has over our lives. Freedom from shame liberates us to shape our world.” Convener: Michael Nelson.

Reverend Michael Nelson reflects, ” The practice of living in the present helps us to know what it means to be at home in the self and with others. It challenges us to ‘see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wildflower.’ What helps us to live in the present in ways that allow you to ‘hold infinity in the palm of your hand?’ William Blake invites us to find eternity in this hour.” Convener: Michael Nelson.
