SUMMARY:International Women’s Day
DESCRIPTION:This Sunday\, we will celebrate International Women’s Day with a reflection on our tradition’s past and future as a spiritual home to powerful women. Learn about the 19th Century Iowa Sisterhood\, some of the earliest female ministers in the Unitarian tradition\, and the barriers they broke. Together we will meditate on questions of religious authority and the stories we tell ourselves\, and help envision a future in which a true diversity of voices speak from our pulpits. \nSpeaker: Rev. Sally \nService Weaver: Moira \nMusic: Susanne and friends \n

SUMMARY:Post-DEI: How do people of faith respond?
DESCRIPTION:Over the last few years a back-lash has emerged against the work on diversity\, equity and anti-racism that arose after the murder of George Floyd. As companies and governments backtrack\, we see a rise in racism and discrimination in our general culture. At the same time progressives have been accused of censorship and a lack of tolerance for others views. What should we make of this? And how can faith and spirituality help us to find a way forward towards achieving a racially just world for all?’ \nSpeaker: Kofi Hope \nService Weaver: Gordon Clee \nMusic: Spirit Choir \n

SUMMARY:Figuring Out Our Diversity  /  Meet the artists
DESCRIPTION:Artists gracefully sharing diversity: \nLee Horton-Carter \nTanya Murdoch \nBill Novak \nLauren Wilson  \n All works are for sale through the artist.  This show runs from Jan. 18- March 22\, 2026 \nCuratorial Statement  \nThe cultural movement towards individuality is growing. Personal growth and self-awareness are becoming more accepted in our culture. We should applaud this growth. This show is a celebration in diversity. Lee Horton-Carter’s work inspired the idea when she revealed a piece that had a visible minority of ability dancing. This started a dialogue of “what don’t we often see but does exist?”. In some cultures\, same sex marriage is illegal punishable by death\, in Canada \, thankfully\, it is commonplace. People in wheelchairs can be chained to inactivity by societies notion of “Can’t”. Yet\, the possibilities are as wide as our vision – so some rise above and  strive for doing it all. Diversity makes us stronger. We should show off our uniqueness \, not\, hide it.  Labels created about body image\,  aga\, Neurodivergence\, ethnicity\, sexual orientation\, economic strata\, even ways with which we navigate the world are often seen as different\, possibly even negatively. We should view them as an opportunity on how to do things differently. \n~Lauren McKinley Renzetti \nJanuary 2026

SUMMARY:Hope vs Despair in a World Gone Wild
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Dr. Cheri DiNovo\, C.M.\, the only woman to sign on to “We Demand” in 1971\, the first “gay rights” demo on Parliament Hill. She performed the first legalized same-sex marriage in Canada in 2001. She was the MPP for Parkdale-High Park from 2006–2017. \nShe is  going to speak about hope based on her own history from being a part of a small band of utopian hippies\, to passing all of our demands and more where queer rights are concerned\, to how to accomplish any one of our justice aims. \nAll very doable and spiritually essential. \nSpeaker: Rev. Dr. Cheri DiNovo \nService Weaver: Kurt Thomsen \nMusic: Susanne\, Tiago\, Tony
