SERMONS
Read or listen to the latest sermons on a wide variety of themes that come out of UU Christian perspectives. Engage in commentary on both the latest issues of life and culture and spirituality, as well as sermons on holy times and days and religious issues and concepts.
These sermons have been collected from a variety of sources; Unitarian Universalist ministers and laity alike who have spoken about UU Christianity, or on Christian-related themes. It is by no means an exhaustive list, and we are always looking for sermons to publish. If you have spoken on UU Christianity or UU Christian related themes, send your sermon to Rev. Jake Morrill. We hope you enjoy the diversity of resources here.
