Headed to Hell
23/09/2019 Duração: 17minIn 1907, Dr. Frank Scott Corey Wicks, All Souls' longest serving minister, delivered a sermon “Good Men In Hell”, that was reprinted the next day in the Indianapolis Star and published and reprinted by the American Unitarian Association over thirty times. It was among the most widely circulated Unitarian sermons, and posited the idea that the Unitarian mandate was to go to troubled places and be with troubled people. Where would we go and whom would we be with if we lived this mandate today? Rev. Anastassia preaching.

"Our Community is the Vessel that Holds Us" by Rev. Anastassia Zinke
05/08/2019 Duração: 11minOn this Ingathering Sunday, we will come together as one community, formed from all the living generations, to bless each other through our water communion. As we begin our series “Let Justice Roll Down,” we will consider how the justice-making that we do collectively ought to begin with blessing, forgiveness, commitment, and love. Children and youth are invited to bring their backpacks to be blessed as they head into a new school year. All are invited to bring some water from a favorite local swimming hole, a kitchen faucet, or somewhere they've been this summer. Featuring Rev. Anastassia and the All Souls Choir.

"Celebrating and Supporting Fathering" by Rev. Kayla Parker
24/06/2019 Duração: 16minThe first Father's Day was a sombre event. It was held as a pastoral response to the Monogah Mining Disaster, which killed 361 men and 250 fathers in West Virginia. Today, we honor the sacrifice of fathers and all the fathering we have received and given.

"Easter is the Salvation Story Needed for the Earth" by Rev. Anastassia Zinke
22/04/2019 Duração: 09minOn this Earth Day weekend and Easter Sunday, let us follow the example of the early Jesus followers, who told improbable and hopeful stories of Jesus' return. We need to become evangelists for the restoration of our planet and the rebirth of its biodiversity. As an act of ritual recommitment, we will also celebrate our Unitarian Flower Communion.

"Called to Save" by Rev. Anastassia Zinke

"Seeing is Believing" by Rev. Anastassia Zinke

"What Harry Came to Learn That You Need to Learn Too" by Rev. Anastassia Zinke
24/03/2019 Duração: 29minThe final book in the Harry Potter series is defined by what Harry and his friends don't know. Nevertheless, they are required to act anyway.

Anastassia preaching.

"Adulting" with Greg Sanders
11/03/2019 Duração: 24minThe term “adulting” has become a tongue-in-cheek term used by young adults to celebrate the completion of daily “adult” tasks such as paying bills. But what are the deeper responsibility of adults in our society? In Book 5 of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the adults are waging a resistance against the Dark Lord Voldemort that they do not fully let Harry and his friends into. Though this frustrates the youth, the adults have a sense that the full fight is not yet for these teenagers. In an age where our most outspoken and arguably most effective activists against violence have been youth, how are we as adults measuring up? How might we fully embrace the responsibilities of being adults?
-
"The Scar vs the Dark Mark" by Rev. Anastassia Zinke
04/03/2019 Duração: 18minSports have often been a metaphor for war and an outlet for human aggression and competition. In this fourth book in the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling intentionally blurs the line between "fictional" and real violence. In our own lives, we see that the rules of civility and order have begun to break down and that many Americans are forming opposing and radicalized camps. What are the signs of this happening? What does it call us to pay attention to?
-
"Facing Fear" by Rev. Kayla Parker
25/02/2019 Duração: 13minOur fears paralyze us and prevent us from living fully. No matter what stage of life we are in, we are living with fears that hold us back. In the third Harry Potter book, Harry and his friends discover powerful tools to face their deepest fears - tools that will serve them throughout the series. Come and learn how memories of joy and love, and the timely use of humor and imagination, can help us face what frightens us the most.

"Opening the Chamber of Community" by All Souls High School Youth
20/02/2019 Duração: 39minIn the second book of the Harry Potter series, Harry and his companions are faced with an ancient deadly secret, discover prejudice amongst their fellow witches and wizards, and are threatened by dark magic. It is only when they learn to share, be vulnerable, and lean on the help of their community that Harry and his friends are able to survive. Our high school youth reflect on this theme in this service with sermonettes.
-
"The Mirror of Erised" by Rev. Anastassia Zinke
11/02/2019 Duração: 11minIn the first Harry Potter book, Harry encounters the Mirror of Erised, which shows the most desperate desire of a person's heart, a vision that has been known to drive men mad. Ancient myths and theologies too played with the metaphor of reflection, as a means to show what we often have trouble perceiving without assistance. In this case, the Mirror of Erised is a good reminder of the Buddhist practice of non-attachment.

"Both/And: Claiming a Particular Identity and an Anti-Racist Identity" by Revs. Anastassia Zinke and Kayla Parker
04/02/2019 Duração: 28minLet’s explore what the next stage is beyond polarizing identity politics. This is a stage where one has claimed a particular identity, as well as identifying as anti-racist. What does this look like?

"A Countercultural Community of Caring" by Rev. Kayla Parker
07/01/2019 Duração: 23minIn an age of isolation and individualism, intentionally building communities of care is countercultural. All Souls is a congregation that declares that all of us are whole and worthy of care and love. How do we experience this as transformative, and how can we more fully grow into this identity? Rev. Kayla Parker preaching.
