Presenter: Rev. Sarah A. Shirley

Service Associate: Hyacinthe Miller

The Rev. Sarah A. Shirley, Rector of St. Andrew Anglican Church will be the guest speaker at the Lake Chapala Unitarian Universalist Fellowship on Sunday, February 22 at its 12:00 p.m. service. Her presenrtation will address such questions as, What is unity? Is it achievable on the earthly plane? Is it something which human beings actually desire? Her message is informed by the controversial nature of ‘unity’ as a spiritual principle, which made worldwide news in January 2025 when The Rt. Rev. Mariann Edgar-Budde preached on it at the (U.S.) National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. The response? A mix of kudos and death threats. Shirley’s talk explores the concept and value of unity in light of these responses, as well as other local aspects of how unity is at work among both the Anglican and UU congregations here at Lakeside, along with the mutual values each group cherishes.
