Unitarians to discuss
fathers, father-figures
confused and confusing, but
that hasn’t always been the case.
“There are archetypal images
in our society’s consciousness
that can help us remember
what it means to lovingly fa-
ther a child — or an adult who
was once our child,” said Miller
“Today, we honor those who
have provided that role for oth-
ers as we tap into the Animus,
the father, in all of us.”
The fellowship, located at
87738 Highway 101 at Heceta
Beach Road, is wheelchair ac-
cessible.
Each service concludes with
refreshments and a dialogue
circle to explore the questions
that come up during each wor-
ship service.

Spirituali-Tea to address
topic of ‘respect’ Monday
On Monday, June 18, at 6:30
p.m., all are invited to join a
group of people who enjoy
finding the common grounds
in diverse spiritual thoughts
and paths.
The meeting is at 875 Sev-
enth St. in Florence.
The topic this week will be
“Respect.”
The Bahá’í Writings say, “Let
not your heart be offended with
anyone. If someone commits
an error and wrong toward
you, you must instantly forgive
him. Do not complain of oth-
ers. Refrain from reprimanding
them, and if you wish to give
admonition or advice, let it be
offered in such a way that it will
not burden the bearer. Turn all
your thoughts toward bringing
joy to hearts.”
Community members are in-
vited to bring their thoughts on
the subject for open discussion.
Tea, coffee and cookies will
be offered.
The gathering will end at 8
p.m. with prayers for the re-
quests left in the Prayer Pole
in the garden of the Florence
Playhouse and those shared by
the group.
For more information, call
Suzanne Mann-Heintz at 541-
590-0616.

On Sunday, June 17, from 10
to 11 a.m., at the Florence Uni-
tarian Universalist Fellowship,
the Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller will
lead the worship service.
Her message will most cer-
tainly be about Father’s Day,
and she encourages everyone
to bring a photo or other re-
minder of the father-figure in
your life.
“‘We are the fathers, blessed
with a gentle strength’ is a line
in a song reminding us that ‘We
are the ones we’ve been waiting
for,’” said Miller. “Since Jesus
the Nazarene is said to have re-
ferred to the power he relied on
as ‘Daddy’ and ‘Father,’ Chris-
tianity has woven divinity and
fatherhood into one complicat-
ed strand.”
Miller added that, in today‘s
world, the role of father is often
