The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will meet at the Tryon Youth Center on Rt. 176 N. on Sunday, Dec. 11 at 10:30 a.m. The speaker will be Reverend Rebecca Booher, who will speak on the topic, “Spiritual Economics: An Oxymoron.”
“The economy is in a shambles,” Booher said. “Current efforts to restore it are a Bandaid approach at best. Maybe we need to return to an older vision, one in which the economy is more aligned with our spiritual values than with those of Wall Street.”
Rev. Rebecca Booher was ordained as an interfaith minister in 2005 by The New Seminary in New York City. She has served as minister, part-time, for UU congregations in Colorado and Pennsylvania, as well as serving as a guest speaker in numerous congregations in Colorado, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. The primary focus of her ministry is in the area of eco-justice. She currently lives with her dog, Morgan, on a hill near Etowah, N.C.
The community is invited to come early for fellowship and refreshments.
The next Unitarian Universalist Fellowship service will be on Dec. 18. Reverend Jean Rowe will speak on the topic, “Into the Light: A Solstice Celebration.” Following the Dec. 18 service there will be a potluck lunch.
