Faith can play a powerful role in getting well. Psychiatrist Mark Ragins has proposed that there are several identifiable stages in the recovery of one’s mental health, similar in concept to the stages of death and dying identified by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. We will reflect on these concepts and how they might be helpful in your congregation, your faith and your life.

Rev. Barbara F. Meyers is a Unitarian Universalist Community Minister affiliated with the Mission Peak Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Fremont, California. Her ministry is focused on mental health issues and includes educational, healing, social justice and priestly functions. Barbara graduated from Starr King School for the Ministry in 2004.

We will also welcome new members into our fellowship at the 11:00 service.
Justice – it’s a concept we UUs correctly affirm and promote and try hard to practice – well, maybe even a little too hard. Sometimes, in our rush to do the right thing, do we forget to be just to each other, fellow activists, and people with whom we differ? What if we added more forgiveness, compassion, humility, and good humor to our social justice practices?

Ah, dear Prudence. Such an old-fashioned term! Is there a place anymore in our ever-changing, ultra-modern world for caution and careful forethought? Is there a place in our progressive UU tradition for conservative instincts? Today we’ll consider the wisdom of putting on the brakes.

Neither a 13-year experiment in prohibiting the manufacture and sale of alcohol in the 20s, nor the so-called War on Drugs in the modern age, failed to eliminate the American appetite for altered states of mind. That is because those enforcement tactics address the symptoms, not the causes, of our discontent. Far more than merely not becoming intoxicated (as sensible as that is), temperance is the quality of self-restraint, and it is a highly useful virtue. Just like mom said.
