Through the year the Rev. Brown will present a series of Sunday services on the theme of COEXIST. In each service he will focus one of the great religions of the world that inspire and inform modern Unitarian Universalism and complement its Judeo-Christian roots.
On Sunday July 21 he will be speaking on Buddhism and Asalha Puja also known as “Dharma Day” which this year is July 22. Asalha Puja commemorates the first sermon of the Buddha and his doctrine of the Four Noble Truths. Through this series Rev. Brown will explore the inspiration and truths expressed in each of the religious traditions as well as the challenges of co-existing in a world where religious adherents come into conflict. We welcome anyone to join us regularly at BUUF. Rev. Brown is scheduled to speak on July 21, August 18, September 22, October 27, November 17, and December 15.
Love is our doctrine, the quest for truth our sacrament and service our prayer.
