UUCB Podcast: Liberal Religious Community

A Call to the Heart, Mind, and Spirit
from the Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley

Welcome to the UUCB Podcast!

We will be sharing our weekly Sunday sermons from our Co-Ministers Barbara and Bill Hamilton-Holway, our Minister of Religious Education Christopher Holton Jablonski, visiting ministers, seminarians, and lay people of our congregation.

Worship (literally, shaping worth) is central to the life of the UU Church of Berkeley. We hope you find something of worth in the message of hope that we Unitarian Universalists have to share. Sermons at the UU Church of Berkeley remind us of who we are, what we can become, how we want to live, what we hope to give to the community and the world.

We welcome and reflect the lives and spiritual journeys of young and old, families and singles, all the colors and cultures of the human race, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and straight people in our worship community. Our Unitarian and Universalist heritages place emphasis on personal experience, conscience, and reason as the final authorities in religion, and that in the end religious authority lies not in a book, person, or institution, but in oneself.

May you find the religious community of your longing.

What is a Podcast?
