8/20/23 With Love at the Center

Led by Grace lewis-McLaren

There’s a new image coming out of the recent work being done on behalf of all Unitarian Universalist congregations. The image is a chalice with an overlay of the word LOVE over the flame. Part of my reflection starts with this, but then goes on to consider some issues (is there any limit?) swirling around LOVE, a word fraught with wonder and risk. Stories, quotes, readings, and songs. Within the summer time frame. I promise.

Grace joined UUCB back in the 1970s. She was the Director of Music for several years. She is a musician, mythologist, auntie, mother & grandma. Her two daughters, who grew up in this church, live in the San Diego area where Grace spends the winter months. Her son, Will, lives in New York City. From 1986 through 2001 Grace was on the administrative staff of First UU Church of San Diego, where our former Interim Minister, The Rev. Justine Sullivan, is now the Senior Minister.
