  • The Unitarian Trinity | Ancestors of Faith Series | Rev. Dr. Daniel Kanter
    Oct 6 2025

    This series honors those whose courage and conviction formed the soul of our tradition. They were not perfect, but they were faithful: to truth, to love, and to the possibility of a better world. In honoring these ancestors of faith, we ask: What do we inherit from them? What do we carry forward?

    We begin with the 4th-century Unitarians who challenged the prevailing Trinitarian view of Jesus, asking whether their bold theological ideas still speak to us today. We move to the 19th-century Transcendentalists, whose vision of the “transient” and the “permanent” in religion continues to offer clarity and guidance. We then honor those in our movement who have defied oppressive systems, reminding us that civil disobedience can be both effective and deeply faithful. Finally, we turn to the humanist voices in our history, exploring what their insights offer for a life of meaning and purpose now.

    First Unitarian Church of Dallas is devoted to genuine inclusion, depth and joy, reason and spirit. We have been a voice of progressive religion in Dallas since 1899, working toward a more just and compassionate world in all of what we do.

    We hope that when you come here your life is made more whole through experiences of love and service, spiritual growth, and an open exploration of the divine. Learn more at https://dallasuu.org/

  • Making Perfect | Return to the Home of Your Soul | Rev. T. J. FitzGerald
    Sep 8 2025

    We hear “practice makes perfect” all the time. But what does a spiritual practice do for us, really?

    Return to the Home of Your Soul Series

    We begin the church year by returning not just to a place, but to each other. This four-part series invites us to reconnect with the essence of our shared spiritual life, the center that holds us through practice, reason, covenant, and love.

    Throughout the month, we will reflect on the enduring vision of our faith and the ways it draws us toward a shared future. We’ll consider how regular spiritual practice shapes our lives and helps us grow. Together, we’ll explore the role of reason as a vital companion to faith, and we’ll honor the deep promises that bind us to one another.

    Coming home to our faith includes an examination of the use of reason in a world that challenges it everyday.
