SUMMARY:We Celebrate 125 Years! | Chart & Compass | Rev. Dr. Daniel Kanter
DESCRIPTION:The church was founded this day in 1899 with the words of Daniel Limbaugh who preached\, “Many souls are hungering and thirsting for religious knowledge\, truth and righteousness\, to whom the old dogmas\, doctrines and creeds appear outgrown. These persons are at sea without chart or compass\, and many are making shipwreck of their religious natures.” His call was for Unitarians to gather and become a church that addressed these issues of the day. Let’s look back on our history and see who we have become and why. \nThis sermon is part of our Chart & Compass series – Our Unitarian Universalist faith is a beacon of hope for people seeking a religion free from “old dogmas\, doctrines\, and creeds.” On May 12\, 1899\, Mr. Daniel Limbaugh gave a talk on the Unitarian religion at Temple Emanu-El where he described such seekers as being “at sea without a chart or compass.” This sermon led to the founding of the First Unitarian Church of Dallas. In this series\, we will take a closer look at Limbaugh’s pivotal message and explore how Unitarian Universalism can serve as our chart and compass in modern times.  \nRev. Dr. Daniel Kanter is preaching\, music TBD \nWorship at 9:30am and 11am CST in-person or online • 7:00pm ONLINE ONLY

SUMMARY:A System of Inquiry | Chart & Compass | Rev. T. J. FitzGerald
DESCRIPTION:We continue to explore Daniel Limbaugh’s 1899 founding sermon for our church by finding in it kernels of interest for them and for us today.  In it he said\, “Ours is not a system so much as it is a tendency.  It is embraced by the spirit rather than by any formal statement of language.  The seeking of truth\, actuated by a love for it and its application to the religious nature of man is the spirit that animates us in all our investigations\, statements and work.” We will unpack this for today’s spiritual needs of our church. \nThis sermon is part of our Chart & Compass series – Our Unitarian Universalist faith is a beacon of hope for people seeking a religion free from “old dogmas\, doctrines\, and creeds.” On May 12\, 1899\, Mr. Daniel Limbaugh gave a talk on the Unitarian religion at Temple Emanu-El where he described such seekers as being “at sea without a chart or compass.” This sermon led to the founding of the First Unitarian Church of Dallas. In this series\, we will take a closer look at Limbaugh’s pivotal message and explore how Unitarian Universalism can serve as our chart and compass in modern times.  \nRev. T. J. FitzGerald is preaching\, music TBD \nWorship at 9:30am and 11am CST in-person or online • 7:00pm ONLINE ONLY

SUMMARY:Freedom to Read Day of Action: Communities Unite Against Book Bans
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 19th\, 2:00 – 4:00 pm\, Crow Library at First Unitarian Church of Dallas\nJoin First Unitarian Church of Dallas and Wholly Informed Sex-Ed (WISE) as we celebrate the freedom to read! We will set aside phones and enjoy a good book in the Crow Library. Browse the collection or bring your own. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 2023\, book banning and censorship reached an all-time high\, with a record 4\,240 unique book titles targeted for removal\, a 65% increase over the 2\,571 unique titles targeted in 2022 and a staggering 128% increase over 2021 numbers. 47% of the books targeted for censorship were titles representing the voices and lived experiences of people of color and people who identify as LGBTQ+. Coordinated censorship attempts continue to happen at an alarming rate\, impacting schools and public libraries nationwide and threatening the First Amendment rights of all Americans. \nPublic and school libraries should be safe havens of knowledge and community\, offering access to diverse viewpoints and empowering students and the public to engage with the issues of our time. The Freedom to Read Community Day of Action will unite libraries and elevate the voices of readers nationwide. Stand with us against book bans on Saturday\, October 19\, 2024. \n

SUMMARY:God is One and Love | Chart & Compass | Rev. Beth Dana
