The sermon was delivered on Sunday, June 24, 2018, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Carmen White Janak, Guest Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION Throughout our lifetime we will encounter hellish experiences, some will impact us greatly and some will be debilitating. On average, we meet 80,000 people throughout our lifetime. I promise, with some of those you meet, you will experience some fresh hell. We can't always control what occurs, but we can command how we respond. Rev. Carmen White Janak is a 4th-generation preacher whose ministry is provocative, powerful, and progressive. She brings her whole self and shares stories and humor with a deep abiding love for humanity. *Featuring music performed by Kara Staiger, Thomas Williams, Rick Fortner, David B.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, June 24, 2018, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Doug Inhofe, Sabbatical Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION More than we imagine, aspects of our lives are arranged as games. We participate in games with rules. We opt to play or not with others. In the games of life, there are time limits, areas of responsibilities, and, ultimately, there's a winner. This predictability, this certainty, we imagine, can salve our anxiety about our futures. But there are useful games that are not time-limited or modeled by the games with winners. These games are infinite—they are games for a life beyond certainty. They leave behind a "winning" effort in favor of insuring the continuation of play itself. This is a meta-world where the rules may change, even the participants, but the game never ends. These games can give us a standard for how to be: if you're in love with someone or something, a project or a congregation, then the game plan is to do what keeps the love going. *Featuring music performed by Kara Staiger, Rick Fortner, David B. Smith, Matthew Edwards.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, June 17, 2018, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Bishop Carlton D. Pearson, Affiliate Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION The majority of conservative evangelical thinkers still believe in an orthodox hell as do most of the billion Roman Catholics in the world. This includes eternal damnation and torture in a lake of fire and brimstone. It all sounds frighteningly obscure, absurd and obscene. And for the most part, they all wish it were not true, or at least that they don't and won't go there. Some are afraid to deny the existence of hell, because that would make Jesus, whom most see as little less than a divine "fire escape" and whom they worship, unnecessary and that is anathema above all anathemas. So?.... Christian orthodoxy needs hell to be orthodox, so that means we need to reconsider orthodoxy and ortho/dogma anew. We're doing so all of the month of June here at All Souls. Lets reconsider what we believe and why we believe it and do those beliefs add to or subtract from the quality of life and consciousness! *Featuring music performed by Colin Bent, Toneille Bent, Brooklyn Benway, Benway-Caldwell Band, Majeste Pearson, Rick Fortner, David B.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, June 17, 2018, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION Talk about uncertainty, children don't come with instruction manuals. There is no application process or credentialing necessary to become a father biologically. Yet, parenting and fatherhood are typically the most important role that a lot of people will ever have. The path of parenthood is a worthwhile metaphor and framework for a spiritual path or a path for living the good life. On this Father's Day I will explore how being a dad has crucial elements of what it takes to master the art of living which is also the art of loving. *Featuring music performed by Brooklyn Benway, Benway-Caldwell Band, Toneille Bent, Colin Bent, Larry Cochran, Rick Fortner, David B.

The reflection was delivered on Sunday, June 10, 2018, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar and Nicole Ogundare. DESCRIPTION Ten years ago, I met Nicole Ogundare when Carlton Pearson and members from Higher Dimensions Church came to share our building. None of us knew then what would transpire among, between, and around us over the following decade. Nicole will join me in both services. She will share insight from her personal and spiritual journey -- from mega-church Pentecostalism to worshipping, joining, and working with All Souls. Come hear how this merging of hearts and cultures has changed us. As part of our Summer Sundays, we've invited a handful of our members who came to All Souls with Carlton Pearson to share their heart-opening and profoundly inspirational stories.

The message was delivered on Sunday, May 27, 2018, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Michael Dowd, Guest Speaker. MESSAGE DESCRIPTION A deep-time big picture is vital for staying sane and sober in confusing and contracting times. Such an evidence-based "sacred realism" can help us accept what is inevitable, avoid what is futile, and be a blessing to friends, family, and neighbors in a difficult and uncertain world. This sermon by renowned eco-theologian and TEDx speaker, Michael Dowd, bridges the gap between head and heart and celebrates the convergence of science, inspiration, and sustainability. *Rev. Michael Dowd is a bestselling eco-theologian and pro-science, pro-future 'evangelist' whose work has been featured in The New York Times, LA Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Newsweek, Discover, and on television nationally. His book, Thank God for Evolution, was endorsed by 6 Nobel Prize-winning scientists, noted skeptics, and by religious leaders across the spectrum. Michael has delivered two TEDx talks and a program at the United Nations. He and his wife, science writer and climate activist, Connie Barlow, have spoken to some 2,500 groups across North America since 2002, including nearly 500 UU churches. Rev. Dowd has also conducted two acclaimed online conversation series: "Evolutionary Christianity" (http://thegreatstory.org/ec-participants.html) and "The Future Is Calling Us to Greatness" (https://www.tree-of-life.works/greatness).

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, May 20, 2018, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Bishop Carlton D. Pearson, Affiliate Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION "I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against." —Malcolm X Justice is the legal, moral or philosophical theory by which fairness is administered. The concept of justice often differs somewhat in every culture. Justice can be more mental than moral, or the other way around. Consciousness is the missing link to what is otherwise a cold and caustic concept. When applied without compassion and emotion, justice can be far more destructive than constructive. Justice need never be Draconian, but compassionate and sensitive to its individual beneficiaries. Here at All Souls we both intend and insist that Justice become and remain a working reality in our world!
