Re-Thinking Motherhood

May 10, 2020 Rebecca Drennan

Does someone have to be female to have maternal instincts?If you care for other people in a nurturing way, aren’t you being maternal, even if you aren’t a mother? Think of it. We all experience men and women with maternal qualities of love, patience, empathy, strength, and humility. The Mother’s Day celebrations can be a time that we all expand our ideas of roles and responsibilities.

Carita Barr, Member: Growing up in a Lutheran state-taxed church, I never was very religious. But 40 years ago, I heard about Unitarian Universalism through friends. I found a home here where this diverse religious community really works to better our world. Respect and honor for the “other” is the main ingredient in our cooperative efforts as a movement.

Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

“A church where skepticism is welcome and adherence to dogma is suspect? A church where all religions are invited but none are beyond introspection? A church that regularly presents nationally touring singer-songwriters? A church where half the congregation might have been at Hunter-Gatherer the night before? Now that’s a church we can support.”

Jane and Bob Gillespie, Members

For much of our married life, we were without a church home, but felt our lives would be enriched if we could find a place where we were part of something greater than ourselves. The UUCC became that place. There, we’ve made great friends, enjoyed meaningful fellowship and found a sense of peace. It’s just what we were looking for.
