Happiness, Desire, the Common Good April 14, 2013

A diverse community luxuriates in the gifts people bring from different points of view. All people bring desires that seek satisfaction, but there is something, isn’t there, that pleases us all? Can a church like ours be a place of delight?

Please note that the sound volume diminishes from approximately 4 minutes to 7 minutes into the sermon. You may want to increase the volume on your computer during that portion. Then it returns to a more normal sound level for the remainder of the recording.

Ms. Saru Jayaraman March 8, 2013

Ms. Jayaraman is the author of Behind the Kitchen Door (Cornell University Press 2013). She asks how restaurant workers survive on some of the lowest wages in America and how poor working conditions and exploitation affect the meals that arrive at our restaurant tables.

In her book Ms. Jayaraman argues that, “Sustainability is about contributing to a society that everybody benefits from, not just going organic because you don't want to die from cancer or have a difficult pregnancy. What is a sustainable restaurant? It's one in which as the restaurant grows, the people grow with it.”

The Robert and Jean Zoerheide Lecture Series speaks to the civic values of the First Unitarian Church of Baltimore (Universalist & Unitarian), and provides regular opportunities for public dialogue with leading voices in the Unitarian Universalist and other liberal religious traditions. The series honors our late Minister emeritus and his wife for their years of leadership in Baltimore.

The First Unitarian Church of Baltimore is located at the corner of Charles and Franklin Streets. in downtown Baltimore. Worship Services are held each Sunday at 11:00 am. For more information, visit our website www.firstunitarian.net or call the office, 410-685-2330.

Rev. David Carl Olson March 10, 2013

Human relationships have seasons of reconsideration and renewal. What relationships do we each have that deserve our attention?

Rev. David Carl Olson March 3, 2013

Human culture seems everywhere to include a religious impulse, a movement toward practices, which control the awful and mysterious. Some practices control the mind through meditation in time, others control the body by seasons of fasting and feasting. This morning asks what it is we have and what it is we deserve.
