Theologians and philosophers spent the last century talking about the death of God, but today it’s reasonable to ask if society is living through the death of truth. In his book on tyranny, Timothy Snyder notes that “truth dies in four modes, all of which we have just witnessed” – open hostility to verifiable reality, shamanistic incantation, magical thinking, and misplaced faith. As truth dies, we become vulnerable to cynicism and indifference, which serves the interests of authoritarianism.

What does it mean to be a Unitarian Universalist in 2025? What are we actually choosing? Reverend Anne Barker will invite us into a reflective worship space –where we consider the emerging possibilities. Rev. Anne Barker is the Canadian Unitarian Council’s Congregational Life Lead for Western Canada. She is visiting Winnipeg this weekend to consult with our congregation about its future ministry.

“Over the past two years, I have described the kinds of ministry available to this congregation in workshops, meetings, and individual conversations, but I have tried to keep the space open so that you could express what ministry means to you and what kind of minister you wish to have. I have mostly refrained from telling you what ministry means to me – why it exists, what it does, and why I have devoted my life to it. I haven’t shared my hopes in entering this vocation, or my disappointments and regrets along the way. Today, I plan to express my personal views about ministry.” - Rev. Stefan
