Mastering UTube Technology!

Some days it is the small things that can make our day! So please let this momentous occasion be noted...I downloaded a U-Tube video onto my PC. It was not the best quality but after viewing several tutorials there was only one that was simple enough and clear enough for me to follow! You know what this means? I will be free to subject my viewers to my interests. lol

 

This weekend Gail Nealon, a board member of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of St. Croix and I will be facilitating a workshop entitled, What It Means to Be a Unitarian Universalist. This is workshop that provides an overview for newbies and those that simply want a review on Unitarian Universalism. This is the perfect video to show although it is six years old. It depicts a number of lay and clergy talking about what Unitarian Universalism means to them and why they are UUs.

Here are some other videos that I think are helpful in understanding Unitarian Universalism.

 

This second video shares aspects of Unitarian Universalism through song and is based on an essay by James Luther Adams, one of the pre-imminent UU theologians. The essay is titled, Guiding Principles of a Free Faith and is referred to as the Five Smooth Stones. The singing is not great but it combines the beauty of nature and music to convey simple truths about Unitarian Universalism.

 

 

Unlike most U Tube videos this last video in my post is rather lengthy. It is 25 minutes but for those of you that really want an in depth presentation of UUism this is a good start. The speaker does not start from early Unitarianism in Europe but begins with the colonial experience. For that you might want to check out a new six part film series detailing the history of Unitarian and Universalist thought from the beginning of the Christian era to present times.

 

Until next time I bid you blessings and farewell!
