August 3^rd — Dana Lightsey: “Mixing Gods”

Shopping for religious beliefs? It is common in our society today to read, research, and adopt some religious beliefs from cultures all over the world, mixing and matching these traditions and beliefs to best suit us. This practice is a part of what informs us as UUs. But what are we really creating? And what may we be destroying? This service will examine the complex issues of mixing gods.

August 17^th — Rev. Michael Corrigan: "Engaged Mysticism. Say What?"

Many of us think of "mystics" as hermit-types who withdraw from the world to contemplate and make space for their mystical visions and hoped-for revelations. What would happen if we embraced the possibility of a mystic vision drawing us forward to an even deeper and greater engagement with the world? We will consider what the results of an intentional engaged mysticism might be for the UU Church of Greeley, and for the wider world.
