How Are We Now?
Rev. Amy Kindred In times past when someone asked, “How are you?” one’s response immediately jumped to “fine, fine.” However, after experiencing pandemic times, we might want to rethink our response. Today’s message focuses on how the experience of trauma affects one’s sense of well-being.

What Is Unitarian Universalism?If you'd like to get a better idea of what Unitarian Universalism is and whether our way of responsibly searching for truth and meaning might be for you, this welcome written by our Minister Emeritus, Rev. Dr. John M. Higgins, gives a quick preview:
"Welcome to this place. This is a place where no revealed truths are promoted and no scripture or human being accepted as infallible. It is a place for searching for truth, but we are believers. We believe in intellectual freedom, we believe in justice, we believe in compassion, and for concern for each other and for the whole world. We believe in commitment to those ideals which make us active in the struggle for human dignity. We are Unitarian Universalists." Who is Friendship Fellowship at Pineda? Born of the liberal Unitarian Universalist tradition and dedicated to the principles of a free faith, Friendship: We welcome all who long for a free and open atmosphere in which to search for their own faith, expand their spiritual horizons, or find new ways to interact with the world in which they live. We welcome diversity of belief and lifestyle because everyone deserves the stimulation of an intellectually active, emotionally supportive and socially conscious community. - The inherent worth and dignity of every living person - Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations - Acceptance of one another and encouragement in spiritual grown in our congregations - A free and responsible search for truth and reasoning - The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process - The goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all - Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. This congregation affirms and promotes the full participation of persons in all our activities and endeavors, including membership, programming, hiring practices, and the calling of religious professionals without regard to race, color, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, age or national origin. |
