CloseRev. Gretchen Haley - August 30, 2020
Release to Receive: Part 1
Rev. Gretchen Haley, our Senior Minister, introduces us to the ritual of Water Communion. Explaining how this ritual is rooted in the 1980’s feminist movement within Unitarian Universalism. Rev. Gretchen then reflects on what it means to release to receive. She says, “We release so that we can receive the gifts present here and now.” She goes on to say, “As we pour the water, we release the stories of the past onto the altar of our shared community, symbolized in the shared collection of our water.” This reflection leads us directly into the Water Communion Community Ceremonies.
