  • Dr. King and the UUs

    Featured Sunday Service
    Rafos Hall 310 Danforth Ave, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

    Unitarian Universalism came together as a merged denomination in 1961, the same year the first Freedom Rides bussed through the American south, and just two years before Martin Luther King Jr’s march on Washington and his much-quoted “I have a dream” speech. We will reflect on where our UU tradition’s unique story intersects with that of Dr. King. Where were the UUs during Rev. Dr. King’s push for Black civil rights? And what lessons can our justice efforts today take from that unique history? Speaker: Rev. Sally Service Weaver: Peter Marmorek Music: Susanne and friends

  • Hope vs Despair in a World Gone Wild

    Featured Sunday Service
    Rafos Hall 310 Danforth Ave, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

    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. She 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. All very doable and spiritually essential. Speaker: Rev. Dr. Cheri DiNovo Service Weaver: Kurt Thomsen Music: Susanne, Tiago, Tony

  • Figuring Out Our Diversity / Meet the artists

    Featured

    Artists gracefully sharing diversity: Lee Horton-Carter Tanya Murdoch Bill Novak Lauren Wilson  All works are for sale through the artist.  This show runs from Jan. 18- March 22, 2026 Curatorial Statement The 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. ~Lauren McKinley Renzetti January 2026
