“Feminine Pillars: Standing Tall”

Continuing our exploration of many of the lives that have strengthened our Unitarian and Universalist roots, and added substance to our great faith tradition, Rev. Marcia Shannon & Rev. Mark Walz look at the lives of Sophia Lyon Fahs & Beatrix Potter.

Holding up the Unitarian Universalist Temple has required the thought, insight, and passion of our sisters. From the very beginning of our church here in North America, the temple pillars have been held up by the power of the feminine.

Please note that the RE exercise Rev. Shannon refers to in her homily was this Sunday’s “Dramatic Moment”  and was  a “Who Am I?” quiz of  famous UUs presented by our children using signs and slides. (RT: 25:01)

“The Bible is not a book, it is a library of books, and it should have, could have, been more fluid in the last two thousand years. So I would highly recommend to all of you that you take the works of Sophia Lyon Fahs, Beatrix Potter, Zane Grey, and Batman. Sneak them in somewhere and make it a part of your Bible.” – Rev. Mark Walz
