    Why We Call This Faith
    Worship Leader – Rev. Daniel Trollinger; Guest Minister – Rev. Dr. William "Bill" Sinkford
    Music: Eno River Singers, Beloved Community Chorus (11:00 am); ERUUF House Band (11:00 am); Alex Thompson – Piano (9:00 am); Wendy Looker – Music Director

    Unitarianism was created as a religion of reason, unafraid of new knowledge from science or sociology. But reason is not the only way of knowing that we embrace. Wholeness asks us to believe in things unseen, things most certainly not being made manifest in our current world. Religion invites us into the space where hope is justified and where love can win.

    Rev. Sinkford is a lifelong Unitarian Universalist and the first African American to serve as President of the Unitarian Universalist Association (2001–2009). In 2010, he was called as Senior Minister of First Unitarian Church of Portland, where he was named Minister Emeritus in 2022. Throughout his decades of ministry, Rev. Sinkford has been a prophetic voice for racial justice, inclusive language, and spiritual renewal. A gifted pastor, preacher, and institutional leader, he continues to inspire and guide new generations of Unitarian Universalists.

“Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.” ― Howard Zinn

It may be hard to believe but April is right around the calendar corner and that means Earth and Climate Justice Month at ERUUF with in person and virtual offerings. We invite all members and friends to join us in putting intention and attention on living our UU 7th Principle (ultimately all our Principles are related as we cannot have justice or peace without clean air and water, fertile soil, and stable climate) at higher levels of expression in practical ways, right here and right now!

Location: Sanctuary Chapel (to the right off foyer/vestibule area before the main sanctuary). You are invited to join fellow ERUUFian, Earth Justice and Justice Ministry Council member, and spiritual activist in training, Denise Frizzell, in exploring the topic of spiritual activism with questions such as, “How might you define such an integrated identity and a life path of “spiritual activism?” What might it mean as a way of life? What significance might it hold for you? What might it look like on a daily basis?” in an experiential sampling of this potentially “holy-disrupting” inquiry (and practice) into a new way of being human as we approach the crossroad of evolutionary Earth Community and devolutionary dystopia.  Please register by 4/19.
