Sermon delivered on Sunday, August 5, 2012, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION Watching the Olympics can inspire a person to dream of success, achievement, recognition and the thrill of victory. It can also remind us of the pain of defeat, disappointment, or dashed dreams. Embedded in these modern games are many archetypes and metaphors for living with the struggles of our inner and outer worlds. There are ways each person can achieve “gold” in this life. What is your personal Olympics?

Sermon delivered on Sunday, July 29, 2012, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Barbara Prose, Assistant Minister. For any of us to survive in the world today, we need a roof over our heads, enough healthy food to eat, and a good education. As a religious community that believes in deeds not creeds, we are called to create just such a world. Since 1994, our HOUS (Housing Outreach for Unitarian Souls) volunteers have been moving toward making this dream a reality, by steadily working on one house after another. Their quiet persistence has paved the way for more than one hundred families to stay healthier and happier in their own homes! These days HOUS works with Rebuilding Together Tulsa. A spokesperson for RTT says the typical homeowner they serve is a single African American woman, over sixty, who is caring for multiple generations in one home. Back in 1994, HOUS’s founding members had a dream. They dreamed if they could do it, others would too. They’ve done it. Now it’s our turn to get organized so that more can join together in building the world we dream about. We are a community that helps our members, our friends, and our neighbors to thrive and not just survive. I hope you’ll pay attention to your dreams, get out your hammers, and join me this Sunday as we end our Summer of Love and Justice with stories of how ordinary people can make all the difference in the world.

Sermon delivered on Sunday, July 8, 2012, at All Souls by Rev. Barbara Prose, Assistant Minister. With the recent Supreme Court ruling on Arizona’s SB1070 and President Obama’s executive action on young immigrants, the national debate is intensifying. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas’s definition of an American is, “Anyone who works hard, who’s proud of his country and wants to contribute; who’s not a burden on anyone.” Rev. Kelvin Sauls, writing for the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, states, “A human rights framework must be foundational to the development of immigration policy nationally.” Members of our congregation have formed the All Souls Alliance for Just Immigration, or ASAJI, and are committed to continue learning about global patterns of migration, emigration, and immigration. What is your definition of a real American? And why? Listen to this sermon and consider what it means to be an American citizen.

Sermon delivered on Sunday, June 24, 2012, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Tamara Lebak, Associate Minister.The phrase "bloom where you were planted" seems to acknowledge that we are not really in control of where specifically we were planted; but more than that, we are not in control of many aspects of our lives. Ecotheology is the study of the ways we engage in our environment. It assumes the relationship between religious and spiritual views of the world and our relationship to the Earth.In the Christian scriptures we are told that we are not of the world but in the world. In this sermon, Rev. Lebak explores the question, What do our liberal religious values ask of us when we reflect on the relationship between human beings and the Earth upon which we live?

Sermon delivered on Sunday, May 27, 2012, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Barbara Prose, Assistant Minister. Memorial Day weekend is not just for weddings, weekend getaways, and cookouts. It is a time set apart for remembering. Many of us would rather face forward, bravely going where no human being has gone before, into an undiscovered future. But what can we do when the past haunts us? How do we honor those we have loved and lost, and at the same time acknowledge the conflict and disappointments which are an inevitable part of every life, every family, every religious community? Listen about the origins of Memorial Day – a gift from newly-liberated African American slaves – and consider why it might be a weekend for you to take some time to turn back and look at the past. What stories do you need to remember, retell, and reinterpret?
