Sunday, June 9, 2019: "AUTHORITY IN THE AMERICAN TESTAMENT: Feel the Rein on Our Parade?" Time: 10:30am Speaker: Rev. Jack Donovan
Worship Associate: Sherry Benton
Does America have an authoritative spirit that guides the nation and the people?
In July 1974, the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies and the Institute for Philosophical Research convened a conference to consider the significance of three historic statements of the American idea - the Declaration of Independence, the Preamble of the Constitution, and the Gettysburg Address. They called these three "The American Testament" and produced a book by that name reporting the conclusions of the scholars and conference.
As this season of summer and national political campaigning begins, I'd say a paramount question arises: What is the role you and I and our fellow citizens will take in response to the call of the American Testament?
To begin on this Sunday, let us ask, What is the spirit and authority underlying the Declaration of Independence and what does that means for you and me?

The UUSP Choir, the UUSP Bell Ringers, Teresa Ancaya and Jon Arterton will be participating in this Sunday’s Service. You can of course expect to hear lots of music.

And there’s a “bonus track!” Fifteen minutes after the service Jon will give a brief talk about our hymnals – how and when they were created, how they’re organized and what all the other bits of information next to each hymn mean. |
