Bound by courageous love, growing in spirit, and inspiring compassionate action!
Welcome to Eliot Chapel's Sunday service!
Sunday, August 17 – 10:00 am
“Beyond Optimism” – Rev. Krista Taves
Unitarian Universalism is a unique faith because we have traditionally held boundless faith in the goodness of humanity and optimism about the future. And yet, what do we do with the suffering that comes when trust is continually broken, harm seems unending, and accountability is inconsistent? This Sunday’s message is inspired by Rev. Nancy McDonald Ladd’s book, Progressive Faith Beyond Optimism: After the Good News.
Featured musicians: Carl Serbell, recorder; Megan Demsky, songleader; David Nalesnik, piano.

Each of us has worth and dignity, and that worth includes our gender and our sexuality. As Unitarian Universalists, we not only open our doors to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, we value diversity of sexuality and gender and see it as a spiritual gift. We create inclusive religious communities and work for LGBTQ justice and equity as a core part of who we are. All of who you are is sacred. All of who you are is welcome.
