On Our Upcoming Guest Speaker

On Sunday, February 23rd, the church will welcome Paul Oakley, who will deliver a sermon titled “Oneness Why Does it Matter?” Paul graduated with a Master of Divinity degree from Meadville Lombard Theological School in 2012. He has served as a chaplain at Barnes-Jewish and Christian Hospitals in St. Louis and did a two-year half-time internship at Carbondale (IL) Unitarian Fellowship, and currently is a full-time ministerial intern at Abraham Lincoln UU Congregation in Springfield, IL. He is a candidate for the Unitarian Universalist ministry.

Paul says this on his sermon: “Our Unitarian Universalist ‘Seventh Principle’ asserts an interdependent oneness can be derived through science, as well as intuition. The three Abrahamic religions, each in its own way, proclaim the oneness of God. Why is oneness important? What does it mean to living a good human life?”
