Sunday Service
February 5 - “A Moment in History - Living for a Faith” Rev. Bill Zelazny
Bill, being of Polish ancestry, was excited when he learned in seminary that in the mid- 1500s Unitarianism was a thriving faith in Poland with thousands of adherents. But a century later theological forces challenged this church and the way of life of the followers forcing major changes on them. But their faith preserved. This Sunday Bill will revisit this little known segment of Unitarian history (he promises there will only a few dates included in the sermon), and then will consider the question: what can this story of 16th century faith mean for us today as 21st century Unitarian Universalists? Choir is in service.
