Our Rich History and Where to from Here?
Manage episode 393997218 series 3380346
Speaker & Worship Leader:- Betsy Marshall
Recorded @ Auckland Unitarian Church 3rd December 2023
Today we gather to celebrate the opening of this building on 4 December 1901 – exactly 122 years ago tomorrow.
As Clay Nelson said in his service for new members in 2015, the anniversary of the building is a time to be reminded that “we didn’t get here out of nothing, we are connected to those who came before, and others in the future will be connected to us, a reminder of our oneness”.
The focus of today is not just on the past but also on our aspirations for the future – hopefully a future in which Auckland Unitarians continue as a vibrant faith community as well as a force for social and political good.
For the 'Where to from here?' part of the service the congregation broke into structured small group discussions using a format known as 'Table Talk', facilitated by Marlon Drake of Te Ohu Whakawhanaunga.
