presentations by the Rev Dr Randolph WBBecker en-us http://www.uufkw.org/darkplaces.mp3 The days shorten (OK, here in Key West maybe a little less and a little less noticeably than elsewhere) on the physical calendar, but most of us have known days shortened by non-physical factors. Everyone, it seems, has known a time in life when the demands seemed too many and the options seemed too few. How do we respond to those time with a spiritual understanding that does not depend on a supernatural interloper? 2012-01-20 22:31:00 the Rev. Dr. Randolph W.B. Becker http://www.uufkw.org/broadminded.mp3 The great leaders of the world, from the Buddha to Jesus to Gandhi to Dr. King, all encouraged people to think in larger connections and more inclusive terms. Is this one of your values? What does it mean to live with an broad-minded attitude? 2012-01-20 22:32:00 the Rev. Dr. Randolph W.B. Becker http://www.uufkw.org/equality.mp3 The Universalists classically affirmed the basic spiritual equality of all people. Is this a value we can re-affirm in our own time? How would we do that? 2012-01-22 17:52:34 the Rev. Dr. Randolph W.B. Becker http://www.uufkw.org/journey.mp3 None of us travel the same path as anyone else, and at the same time none of us travels our life path alone. 2012-02-02 16:02:34 the Rev. Dr. Randolph W.B. Becker http://www.uufkw.org/practice.mp3 We are often told that “practice makes perfect,” but with spiritual practice one does not seek perfection . . . only a path to one’s betterment. In religious traditions centered on prayer or meditation, such practices are easy to find. But what about for those of us who have no easy source, no dogmatic orders, no prescribed path? 2012-02-05 16:22:34 the Rev. Dr. Randolph W.B. Becker
