She also referenced external history from the first Gay Pride Parade one year after the Stonewall Riots, through events at the University of Hartford in response to bigoted external challenges. <br /> Part of that litany says, "No one comes to this house who is not changed. I meet no one here who does not change me. This Meeting House is a place of pride and progress, of welcome and activism. Today we lift up the moments in our lives when we are celebrated for whoever we are, and whomever we love. Listen to the music of our members' voices raised with pride." The most moving words spoken were the simple phrase: I belong here, I belong here, I belong here. http://www.ushartford.com/podcasts/service060610.mp3 gsyring@ushartford.com 9A082756-2D0A-4069-9A62-1D2054960947 Sun, 13 Jun 2010 16:19:07 -0400 LGBT Gay Pride Sunday Reflections on the paths of liberal religion to tolerance and inclusiveness, especially for people with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender sexual orientation. 21:02 Gail Syring, Director of Religious Education liberal, religion, gay pride, community, respect, acceptance no no Ms Cadrain reflects on her heritage as a Roman Catholic, the road to an interfaith marriage in the Judeo-Christian tradition, and her continuing search for ways to make sense of it all -- from her rational head down to her shoelaces. http://www.ushartford.com/podcast/podcasts.xml edsavage@ushartford.com spirituality 69C33A13-7F9D-45AE-8132-F0F798227FD6 Thu, 22 Apr 2010 11:16:20 -0400 God's Shoelace - a Catholic's path to Unitarian spirituality A reading of Emerson's Oversoul introduces the speaker.
