In her sermon “Light of Truth,” Rev. Beth Dana explores the power, complexity, and necessity of truth in our lives. Reflecting on timeless wisdom—such as the saying attributed to Mark Twain, “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes”—Rev. Dana delves into the challenges of truth-telling in a world where misinformation spreads rapidly.
Drawing on Unitarian Universalist principles, she distinguishes between fact and truth, emphasizing the importance of discernment, integrity, and courage in speaking and living our truths. Through historical examples like the heroic efforts of Unitarians Waitstill and Martha Sharp during World War II, Rev. Dana highlights how small, daily acts of integrity can kindle the light of truth in even the darkest times.
This sermon invites us to reflect on questions like:
🔥 What does it mean to be true to ourselves and others?
🔥 How do we remain grounded in truth amid conflicting narratives?
🔥 What truths must we live and speak to uphold justice, integrity, and love?
🔥 Join us as we explore how to embody the light of truth in our daily lives, guided by our faith, values, and a commitment to integrity. Together, we can shine brightly in a world yearning for authenticity and understanding.
