May’s Theme: Truth

By Reverend Barbara Prose

 

It makes a big difference if a person believes there is only one truth or there are many truths. If there are many truths, then what does truth even mean? Can something be true to one person, or in one place, or in one time, and then be untrue to someone else in another place and another time? Is everything relative? Or is there a central truth we can always count on? What is the relationship between truth and trust?

 

Since I am not preaching in May, I hope some of you will respond to these questions with your own reflections. In a time when eternal truths seem few and far between, let’s inspire each other by sharing what truths we count on, to get us through challenging times.

 

I know I will learn a lot, by hearing what y’all have to say!

Meet Rev. Prose

After receiving her Master of Divinity degree from Bangor Theological Seminary in 2009, Rev. Prose served the All Souls Unitarian Church of Tulsa Oklahoma from 2010 to 2023.  As the Executive Minister of this 2,000 member congregation (one of the largest UU churches in the US), she led a staff of 20 or more. Rev. Prose moved to Hood River over a year ago and has been enjoying spending time with her granddaughter in Washougal.  Rev. Prose also serves as Executive Director of the Portland-based Interfaith Movement for Immigrant Justice (“IMIrJ”). We are pleased to support Rev. Prose as she continues to lead IMIrJ’s vital programs while also serving as our minister this coming year.
