What is religion and how may one speak of it? In this service, a retired Unitarian Universalist minister will take a look at the current attempt in Unitarian Universalist circles to give written expression to its approach to religion. Suggested preparation for sermon: Read the
Article II Study Commission report to the UUA Board of Trustees, paying particular attention to pages 11-24.

Bruce A. Bode is Minister Emeritus at the Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (QUUF) in Port Townsend, Washington, from which he retired in 2018 as the Senior Minister after serving the congregation for fourteen years (2004-2018). Before coming to Port Townsend, Rev. Bode was the Interim Minister of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Houston, Texas (2002-2004) and the Hope Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma (2001-2002). Prior to that, he served for twenty-two years (1978-2001) as an Associate Minister at the Fountain Street Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, a large, independent, religiously liberal congregation.
