As Unitarian Universalists we affirm and promote a free and responsible search for truth and meaning; thus, we do not always believe the same things, even as we worship together. Join service leader Celia Ellison as we hear about the personal religious beliefs of two of our congregants: Kevin Rose and Russ Vie Brooks.

Guest presenter Dr. Allen McGrew is Associate Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Dayton, and Convener of the Quakerm Earthcare Witness Mini-Grants Program.

This ceremony aims to deepen the meaning of our seventh principle: “Respect forthe interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.” Feel free to bringyour own rocks and/or water collected from the far reaches of the world or from yourown little corner to contribute to this uniquely UU service.
