San Marcos Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

It’s easy to be dazzled by beauty of nature and when we wander into religious naturalism we are apt to spend more time admiring its prettier parts. Our 7th principle asks us to hold “respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.” But that web has some dark strands and complex connections that elude our understanding. In this sermon we’ll take a walk through the burned out forests of Bastrop and the scoured banks of the Blanco River to consider the implications of a deep green religion. Rev. Nell Newton is delighted to return to SMUUF, the congregation that watched her grow as a minister and ordained her in 2015. A lifelong UU, she has been called to serve as the settled minister at the Amarillo UU Fellowship. Nell and her husband Monty will be moving up there after she sees us!
