As one congregant said: “It is so awesome how you/NU can mobilise the best of religious traditions without getting caught up in the worst aspects of them.”

‘What Does It Mean to Be Religious?’ - Rev Adam Slate
At various times throughout its history, New Unity has embraced its identity as a religious organisation to advocate for moral and social causes. At others, it has asserted people’s right to dissent from religious orthodoxy and to worship (or not worship) according to individual conscience, or has claimed to be non-religious. During all these times, the congregation has advocated assertively for the right to freedom of both its members and the larger community to live, thrive, question, and wonder at the mysteries of our universe. In this context, it is worth asking what it means to be religious, and how embracing or denying that depiction impacts our work advocating for human dignity and fulfilment.
Children will join in the chapel and leave for their programme after the first hymn.

14th June - ‘What Does It Mean to Be Prophetic?’ - Rev Adam Slate
In our fictional tales, accounts of prophecy bring to mind predictions of great events or change that the future holds. In biblical stories, prophets have served a different purpose—within this framework, they speak on behalf of the Holy to remind people of their commitment to the Divine, call them to act righteously, and highlight their role in promoting social justice. What does it mean for a Unitarian congregation—where understandings of the sacred vary widely—to be prophetic today at a time when organised spiritual and religious movements are in flux and social turmoil is deepening and ideological divides are widening?
