Sunday Worship Service ~ 10:00 a.m. www.FlorenceUUF.org - (541) 997.2840 Universalists discuss religions’ expectations about writings On Sunday, Sept. 8, from 10 to 11 a.m. at the Flor- ence Unitarian Universal- ist Fellowship, Dr. Ruth Miller will deliver a mes- sage titled, “Expectations of People of the Book.” Three of the major world religions depend on a par- ticular set of writings as the basis of their faith tra- ditions: Judaism, Christi- anity and Islam. Each of them reveres their version of those writings in their rituals and practices — and expects others to do the same. Miller will help the con- gregation understand the historical and cultural re- lationships between these various groups, helping to understand what that means for people, as Uni- tarian Universalists and as citizens of this planet? The fellowship is located at 87738 Highway 101 at Heceta Beach Road and is wheelchair accessible. Each service concludes with re- freshments and a dialogue circle to explore the ques- tions that come up during each worship service. For more information, visit www.florenceuuf.org.
