Please join Rev. David Miller, Senior Minister, of UU Congregation of Fairfax as we consider the future of church in such uncertain and unpredictable times.
Summary:
In this sermon, Reverend David Miller reflects on the profound global shifts of the last few years and their lasting impact on personal and religious life. He argues that faith communities must move away from reactive habits and instead embrace intentional design to navigate an uncertain future. By contrasting scarcity-based thinking with a model of abundance, Miller encourages his audience to prioritize creative imagination over fear or rigid tradition. He calls for a “church of the new” that balances self-care with an active commitment to global needs. Ultimately, the sermon serves as a plea for individuals and organizations to remain nimble and visionary as they adapt to a permanently altered world.
