Love at the Center | Rev. Beth Dana | 02.08.2026
In her sermon “Love at the Center,” Rev. Beth Dana reflects on the meaning of unconditional love through the story of Hosea Ballou, a child who learned that he was loved even when he was muddy and imperfect. That early lesson shaped his belief that God’s love must be wide enough for everyone. Rev. Dana invites us to remember that we are already beloved and we should see others the same way, especially in a world that often teaches fear and exclusion.
Love is at the center of Unitarian Universalist faith and shows up in everyday practices like worship, community care, justice work, and self-compassion. The sermon calls us to keep choosing love and to let it guide how we live together.
