Why We Light the Chalice

Did you know that UU’s have a martyr? His name is Michael Servetus. Lucy will draw from her readings about the Reformation, Michael Servetus, Martin Luther, the printing press and John Calvin. It was a time of political back and forth; a revolution where Servetus was looking critically at the holy trinity and more – none of it making sense to him. Intrigue and treachery led to Servetus being burned alive at Champel.

All of Servetus’ questioning, searching resonated with Lucy, and why questions and why UU’s question. Join us today as we learn more about this early martyr, as we seek answers to all those questions inside us.
