| Threshold Conversations: The Theology of Covenant Watch Party – Tuesday, October 14, 2025, 2 hours, 1-3pm Eastern – Delve into topics of Unitarian Universalist theology of covenant. What is a covenant, and is such a thing relevant today? What is the lived value of a covenant? Explore together what it could mean to call or be called back into covenant, and contemplate Rumi’s quote “Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn’t matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again, come, come.” Whether you are new to Unitarian Universalist thinking on covenant or coming back again, this conversation will have something for you. This event will be a watch party of a recorded panel conversation, followed by live audience Q&A with the panelists and you. This is part of the Threshold Conversations series which seeks to understand and attend to the emergent needs of our Unitarian Universalist communities and cast a vision for UU faith development into the future.
