Review:
From critically acclaimed, award-winning author Michelle Huneven, a sharp and funny novel of a congregational search committee, told as a memoir with recipes!
Dana Potowski is a restaurant critic and food writer and a longtime member of a progressive Unitarian Universalist congregation in Southern California. Just as she’s finishing the book tour for her latest bestseller, Dana is asked to join the church search committee for a new minister. Under pressure to find her next book idea, she agrees, and resolves to secretly pen a memoir, with recipes, about the experience. That memoir, Search, follows the travails of the committee and their candidates—and becomes its own media sensation.

The Illustrated History of the Unitarian Universalists: The Reasonable Heretics
An online multi-session, interactive slide show and discussion of the proud history of religious progressives who dared to be reasonable. You won’t find the history of so-called “heretics” on the History Channel, or in most college courses. Even divinity schools that train ministers won’t tell this story except to briefly say the heretics were wrong and just plain bad! This course treats our persecutors of long-ago with forgiveness and understanding. After all, orthodox Christians haven’t tortured a heretic for a long time, and many of today’s Christians would never use the word “heretic.”Facilitated by Jerry Kerr, Co- Minister
