Environmental Issues

Let's join the wave of darkness spread over the globe.
Candle Night started in Japan in 2001 as a time to save energy, think about peace and about people in distant lands who share our planet.
In CUC, Capital UU Congregation started planning Candle Night and encourage other congregations to follow their lead. Ted Harrison, a member of their congregation, contributes the image on the right to be used as a poster for advertising CandleNight in your congregation. Click here for a high-resolution image. Please credit Artist Ted Harrison and the Canadian Unitarian Council and send us a copy of how you have used the image.

Candle Night is the same night as the Winter Solstice.

ACM 2008 - The Web of Life -- In Our Hands, Ingathering Homily by Alex Campbell

 

Sermon: Our Heart's Content by Rev. Peter Boullata

"For those of us who, like myself, see the dangers as well as the possibilities of the ever-increasing market, we need to come back to its heart, the never-satisfied consumer, and to the heart of the never satisfied consumer. What are the sources of your dissatisfaction? What are the sources of your happiness? This is the essential work of developing an economy of sustainability. This is the essential work of resisting the manipulations of advertising. This is essentially spiritual work."
