The Good – Bad Old Days
Oct 13 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

Sunday, October 13, 10 a.m., “The Good – Bad Old Days,” Rev. John Wright (revjohn3449@gmail.com): As the saying goes, “Nostalgia just ain’t what it used to be.” In this sermon Rev. Wright examines the rose-colored glasses through which we so often view the past. We will try to put that into perspective, and think about why it might be important to our ever-changing faith tradition.

Following this service, there will be an all-congregational presentation of the February 2024 Committee on Congregational Life (CCL) Survey Results.

Rev. John Wright recently retired after having served our UU Fellowship in Salisbury, MD since 2009. A 2007 graduate of Starr King School for the Ministry, John was born and raised in Baltimore, lived in seven different states, moved more times than he can count, and now lives in Delmar, Md.

Born Roman Catholic, he became a Baha’i at 19, and UU at 35. He and his wife Kit have been married for 53 years, have 2 adult children, and one grandchild. Since he was not accepted into Ringling Brothers’s Clown College or Nursing School, he spent 20 years in financial institutions before going to seminary. Kit is an internationally known stole artist, whose works have graced many of the most prominent ministers of our denomination.

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.
