Personal Theology

Zoom ImageSundays (twice a month), September through May from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., multi-platform presentations in the Fireside Room and on Zoom. (Please log in at 9:20 for Zoom)

Personal Theology Seminars are one-hour presentations given by speakers who come from a range of perspectives on such subjects as Sufism, Atheism, the Goddess, Christianity, Physics, Consciousness, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, Altered States, and Human Potential. The Personal Theology program was founded by Bernard Loomer, former Dean of the Divinity School at University of Chicago and leader in Process Theology. It was led by Martha Helming from 1991 to 2013. Participants listen to and engage with theological, scientific, spiritual and consciousness leaders, as well as present their own topics and spiritual journeys. Seminars pursue the UU values of drawing inspiration from diverse traditions and deepening one’s life. Honoraria for some speakers are supported by contributions from the audience.

Personal Theology Committee Members: Abel Fosten, Don Klose, Diane Rusnak, Kathleen Slobin, Karen Voorhees.

For information about Personal Theology or to suggest a speaker, email adulted@uucb.org and a member of the Personal Theology team will get in touch.

Land Acknowledgment

We acknowledge that this church occupies land in Huchiun in the unceded territory of the Chochenyo-speaking Ohlone people.  May we have the humility and courage to do our part to restore what has been broken and the wisdom to live into a new solidarity with Indigenous communities and the earth.
