Sermon delivered by Rev. Dr. Dorothy Emerson on June 10, 2018.\\xa0The 1960s introduced many cultural changes that still influence us today as we continue to struggle with issues of freedom, equality, peace and love. What can we learn from this era about the challenges of creating a culture based on Unitarian Universalist values and principles?

Her recent ministry includes the co-founding of UU Class Conversations, to inspire UU congregations to become more class-inclusive and diverse. Her recently published memoir,\\xa0Sea Change: the unfinished\\xa0agenda of the 1960s,\\xa0will be available for purchase after the service. Her previous books include Called to Community: New Directions in UU Ministry;\\xa0Standing Before Us: Unitarian Universalist Women and Social Reform 1776-1936;\\xa0and\\xa0the curriculum\\xa0Becoming Women of Wisdom: Marking the Passage into the Crone Years.\\xa0
