Jan. 12, 2020. By Senior Minister Rev. David A. Miller As those of you who read my beginning-of-the-year blog to the congregation know – and I know at least four or five of you did because you told me you did – I have made some pledges this year – not resolutions – but pledges. […]

Aug. 4, 2019. By Rev. David A. Miller. On election night in November 2008, I, like most of the world, watched as the U.S. elected its first black president. I was also in my final year of seminary and as I stood there I thought, “Oh my god, does this mean we are in a […]

Prophetic Voice, Who Me?

by Senior Minister Rev. David A. Miller. Jan. 29, 2017. Unitarian Universalist Minister Rob Macpherson wrote: “The very bedrock of our Unitarian tradition is the free practice of religion, first articulated in the Edict of Torda in 1568.

Why I Pray

by Rev. David A. Miller. Aug. 7, 2016. Have you ever sat down at the computer and, whether you are a believer or not, you thought, “God, if you are up there, or anywhere, please give me the inspiration to write this report, or paper, or if you are a minister, for instance, this sermon.” […]
