Led by Jenny Hunt!

Come join Jenny Hunt and fellow UUs in exploring some core theological themes of our faith based on the book Theology Ablaze by Tom Owen Towle. Our plan is to split this into two parts, one this fall to begin in mid-September and the second part to begin after the holidays. We will generally cover two chapters or themes (now worries they are short) per session. Together we will share our views and beliefs on topics such as beauty, God, the Sacred, covenant, justice, love and everything in between. Bring your wisdom, your curiosity and your voice as we join together to figure out more deeply the question “What do we believe?”

This is an online course using zoom video conference. Registered participants will receive online access a few days before the first class.

Required reading (read two short chapters for each session). Theology Ablaze: Celebrating the 50th Anniversary Year of Unitarian Universalism. By Tom Owen-Towle (Flaming Chalice Press, San Diego, CA, 2011)

The class will run two Thursdays a month from 7-9 PM beginning on September 17th.

This is a great class for those who are new to Unitarian Universalism or who have been a part of this denomination their entire lives!
