  (Sermon only) Getting Comfortable with Capacity UU Church of Berkeley Sept 6, 2026

  Sep 7, 202624 min

  Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley September 6th, 2026 Getting Comfortable with Capacity Rev. Marcus Liefert Modernity places hope in humanity's endless potential to grow—"Onward and upward forever!" as one of our spiritual ancestors declared in the Five Points of the New Theology. But overemphasizing our power and neglecting our limitations and vulnerability leaves us ill equipped to meet the challenges of our times. How do we hold a conversation that both honors our constraints and inspires us to build the capacity to achieve our purpose?

  (Sermon only) ”The Faith Is In The Crossing” Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley Aug 30, 2026

  Aug 31, 202618 min

  Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley August 30, 2026 The Faith Is In The Crossing Rev. Marcus Liefert Some traditions look out on the world and see people in need of conversion, lost souls who could be saved if only they are reached by the right message. Liberal religion holds instead a vision of pluralistic partnership. What kind of faith do we need to take the risk of crossing that chasm?

  (Sermon only) ”Rooted in Rich Soil” Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley July 26th, 2026

  Jul 27, 202623 min

  Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley July 26, 2026 Rooted in Rich Soil Rev. Sheri Prud’homme From where do we draw our religious authority? Part of the answer is from the theological heritage of Unitarian Universalism. Ours is an open and evolving faith, and we are stewards of its unfolding. Knowing our theological roots grounds our resistance to authoritarianism, consumerism, militarism, and racism as well as our capacity to imagine a better way.
