Unitarian Church Of Lincoln

UNL’s “Dr. Drought” Dr. Don Wilhite will be accompanied by Professor Clint Rowe As the nation approaches the first presidential election where climate change is a major issue, Wilhite and Rowe will inform Nebraskans about the reality they face.  Wilhite and Rowe will discuss why climate scientists and meteorologists expect that as the effects of climate change intensify, the impact on agriculture, trade, transportation and other areas of importance to our state will increase as well. For over fifteen years the Sorensen Lecture Series has been presented by the Unitarian Church of Lincoln to the public to highlight current issues. It is funded by an endowment from the Sorensen family in memory of former Nebraska attorney general C. A. Sorenson.

Have you ever been curious what a sermon looks like with Dinosaurs, the Book of Revelation, the Avengers, and Paul Simon in it? This is the Auction sermon.

The sixth source of Unitarian Universalism asks us to celebrate the sacred circle of life, and to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.  What do teachings from Earth-centered traditions and others hold for us in an age of rapidly changing climate?  

What is a Unitarian-Universalist theology of not-wholeness?  What does it mean when we are incomplete through our own actions, and how do we point ourselves back to wholeness?

We know that we are all connected, and that all deserve dignity.
