Editor's note:
Rev. Galen Guengerich, pastor at All Soul's Unitarian Church in New York City, writes that gratitude should be the center of our UU faith. For more click here. I appreciate Rev. Guengerich's idea and being a student of A Course In Miracles and a Roman Catholic Unitarian Universalist, I think that forgiveness comes first, then gratitude. It is hard to feel grateful until one feels forgiven and forgives.
I am grateful for this blog. I read it every day and find something here that is helpful for my spiritual life. I wish you and all the reads a wonderful Thanksgiving season.
ReplyDeleteI agree that forgiveness is the key. Unfortunately, UUs have no coherent theology or practice in this regard. Human beings make plenty of mistakes and there needs to be a theology of repairing harm that has been done and repairing of breaches in rapport in relationships. Without this, UU is doomed as irrelevant in assisting human beings in their spiritual development.
