Personal Theology @9:30am - Rev. Carolyn West,"What is Jesus Doing at UUCB?" - In-person AND online, UUCB Campus
- Contact
- Anne Wardell
adulted@uucb.org
In-Person in the Fireside Room and on Zoom. Rev. Carolyn has graced the Personal Theology program many times before and we are so happy that she has agreed to return to talk about ‘What the Heck is Jesus Doing at UUCB?’ Carolyn West is a poet, storyteller, and playful speaker who has been grateful for the UUCB community for more than 20 years. She served as Minister for Worship at the Northbrae Community for three years. Currently, she is at work on a history/memoir about growing up in a midwestern family business, full of love and ironing. She lives in Berkeley with her husband and two silly cats, and is grateful whenever her college aged son visits. Carolyn says, "Believe me when I tell you that finding Jesus at UUCB was an utter surprise! To be honest (TBH), it's hard to talk about. So, let's get to it and unpack our assumptions about belief and about Jesus and about other aspects of belief systems."

ZOOM ONLY STREAMED TO FIRESIDE ROOM. Rev. Zae Asa Illo, Director of Youth Spirit Artworks and recently ordained minister will share his personal journey. Living a life of radical hospitality and a commitment to love and serve others is how we know when we are encountering great souls. He will talk about what it takes to keep focused on what is true and real--which we must love and care for each other in whatever ways we can. Zae is Operations Manager of Youth Spirit Artworks and received an M.Div. from a Quaker seminary - Earlham School of Religion - with an emphasis in entrepreneurial ministry. His spiritual call is to live out a ministry of collective redemption and mutual aid. Among Friends, he co-founded the weekly Friday Food Sharing ministry (2014) and foodREV (2014). Presently, he leads the weekly Bible study and a weekly street prayer ministry at Glide Memorial church in the Tenderloin of San Francisco. Zae is working on a laundry delivery service that supports free washes to persons in need.

Speakers prepare a 10-15 minute talk, and the rest of the meeting is devoted to discussion of the topic, with 2 to 3 minute limits on individual speakers, so as to give everyone a chance to speak. Topics for the following month are selected (voted on) once a month in meeting. Anyone can propose a topic. Sometimes short topics raised at the meeting are discussed too. All are welcome!

I believe the Social Justice Sunday committee will need more time than we originally scheduled to clean up the sanctuary, atrium and social hall. We will have many helpers, but the process could still take awhile.

IN-PERSON and streaming to ZOOM. Kevin Fisher-Paulson, SF Chronicle columnist, has made so many of us laugh, cry and be inspired by his tender and hilariously honest tales of gay-parenting. But when cancer was discovered, Kevin made a decision to go through the medical experience with curiosity, humor and a commitment to look for joy. It is a joy to be with Kevin as he shares his spiritual journey with cancer.
