“The Power of Story and the Hope of Restorative Justice” Penny Beersten

I will share the power of story telling in the context of the restorative justice work in which I participate at Racine Correctional Institution. The restorative justice circles at RCI are sponsored by The Andrew Center for Restorative Justice at Marquette University and are facilitated by Mary Triggiano, Director of the Andrew Center and former Chief Judge, Milwaukee Circuit Court.

By sharing stories circle participants reflect the growth principles articulated by Bryan Stevenson: getting proximate, doing difficult things, believing in what we cannot see, and maintaining hope. In emphasizing the ripple effect of crime, all members of the circle are encouraged to accept accountability for their actions and move forward in a positive direction.

“Sacred Curiosity”

Carrie Arnold

The kinds of questions we ask, and the manner in which we ask them, hold great power in fostering our growth in personal awareness, relationships, and our connections to one another, ourselves, and all of the universe. Let’s get together and ask about what we’re asking.

Carrie has been a jail chaplain and she currently has a house church. She’s a regular speaker at LUUF.

“Sailing the Winds of Change”

Joan Shiels

Growing up, growing old and just being alive force us to change ---again and again. These transitions bring both joy and fear. This is a reflection on how to cope with change and how to navigate the scary bumps in the road of life while still managing to enjoy the ride.

Rev. Joan Shiels has a Masters Degree in Religion, another in Theology and another in Divinity. Besides all that, she’s really interested in religion too. She has been bringing messages to the Unitarian Fellowship in Door County for 25 years. Though her topics range from Anthropology to Zoroastrianism, her favorite talks are about what it means to be human.

Annual Flower Ceremony

Albert Sears

The first Flower Ceremony was created by Unitarian minister Norbert Capek in Prague in 1923. Sometimes referred to as
the Flower Communion, it is an annual ritual that celebrates beauty, human uniqueness, diversity, and community. Please bring a flower or two to share. We will each leave with someone else’s flower, as a gift of friendship and acceptance. The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all, will be our focus.

“Art that Awakens the Heart and Mind”

Jim Neilson

They're instantly recognizable, but still mysterious—three iconic works of art that consistently (and thankfully) awaken curiosity. Let's get Art Curious this Sunday...after all, curiosity is an intellectual and moral virtue!

Jim is an art professor at St. Norbert College.
