Chalice Stories – “Playing Fair” the 5th Principle

December 9, 2020 by Rev. Jim

Our 5th installment of Chalice Stories is a story about the 5th listed Principle: The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large or “All People Need a Vote.”

Our story is “Playing Fair” from Janeen Grohsmeyer’s book “a lamp in every corner: our unitarian universalist story book,” and it will be for Thursday’s Chalica celebration of our Principles. Light a Chalice, and enjoy!

Chalice Stories – 3rd Principle

December 7, 2020 by Rev. Jim

Hi Y’all!

Here is our third installment of a Chalice Story to celebrate our Principles for Chalica! Our stories are from the book “a lamp in every corner” by Janeen K. Grohsmeyer, and this one is titled “The Rooster Who Learned to Crow,” illustrating our third listed Principle – Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations… or as the story puts it, “We’re free to learn together.”

So please, light a chalice or candle, enjoy the story, and contemplate how we work to help each other grow and learn, even though they may believe differently from ourselves!

Peace, Rev. Jim

Chalice Stories – 2nd Principle

December 7, 2020 by Rev. Jim

Hi Y’all!

Here is the Chalice Story for our Second listed Principle – Justice, equity and compassion in human relations… or Be Kind in all You Do.

The Story is “The Excruciatingly Scrupulous Twins” by Janeen K. Grohsmeyer, from her book “a lamp in every corner.”

Light a Chalice, relax, and enjoy the story! Then discuss the second listed Principle and its meanings as you will. Love to hear your thoughts here if you wish.

Peace,Rev. Jim

We’ll have seven videos, and seven stories, for seven Principles. This story is about our First listed Principle – The Inherent Worth and Dignity of Every Person, or Each Person Is Important.
