Protest or Parade
Mar 24 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

Sunday, March 24, 10 a.m., “Protest or Parade,” Rev. Tara Humphries: This Sunday we’ll reflect on the story of Palm Sunday and look closely at the ways in which we, as Unitarian Universalists, can understand and make meaning out of Jesus’ radical acts of resistance in this week leading up to Easter. With a brave and thoughtful reinterpretation of an old story, perhaps we will hear anew the clarity of our call to the work of faith-based justice.  

Rev. Tara Humphries (they/them) is a UU minister serving at Allen Avenue Unitarian Universalist Church in Portland, Maine. After completing their ministry training at Andover Newton Seminary and Yale Divinity School and serving for three years in a small UU/UCC church just outside Boston, Tara has settled back in southern Maine (about 450 nautical miles North of Lewes) where they grew up and still call home. They identify as a Christian UU, and find depth and joy in exploring the Christian story through the lens of UU theological interpretation and values.

Sharing Our Stories

Each of us at UUSD has a different story to tell about how we found a spiritual home here. A few of us are life-long UUs but most are not, having come from a variety of other religious backgrounds or from no particular place of faith. Whatever our journey, sharing the stories of the paths we took helps connect us to each other and to the shared journey we are now making.
