Rev. Marti Keller: “Arc Bending—a look at a Unitarian hero (and heretic!)”

On the eve of Martin Luther King Day, Rev. Marti Keller examines the life of Theodore Parker, a 19th century Unitarian minister and abolitionist, He coined the idea that the arc of human history bends toward justice—a theme that Rev. King famously amplified.

Sunday services begin at 11 a.m., but join us early for coffee and conversation. Visitors and guests are always welcome. Services include a talk, by a guest or a member of the Fellowship. They also include music, meditation and optional opportunities to share your thoughts.

Rev. Keller lives in Atlanta. She’s been a Unitarian Universalist minister for more than 25 years, serving individual congregations and in leadership roles with the Unitarian Universalist Association. She’s also an essayist, a poet and an activist for human rights. Rev. Keller speaks once a month at our Fellowship.

If you come Sunday, be prepared for something different. Unitarian Universalism is an unusual religion. For example, we don’t share a creed. Our members are Christians, Jews, Buddhists and subscribers to earth-centered traditions. Members also include humanists, agnostics, atheists and people who resist labels.

We do share principles and values, along with a history of disagreeing with each other. Rev. Parker, for example, was a bit of a UU heretic. Rev. Keller will explain. Join us Sunday morning for the details.
