Theology Ablaze: Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Unitarian Universalism

By: Tom Owen-Towle

Unitarian Universalist theology has caught fire in the past 50 years. In the decades since merger, Unitarian Universalism has been maturing spiritually. We've been fanning the flames of our faith. We've been growing in theological literacy, dialogue, and depth. We acknowledge that everyone is a bona fide theologian. Our brand of progressive theology is sorely needed in the 21st century. As a life-affirming, liberating, and loving religion, Unitarian Universalism stands ready to heal the spirit while reforming society. "Theology is the sweet, earnest, bumbling attempt by human beings to take serious things like hope, death, iniquity, and transformation seriously. Fortunately, we have in Tom Owen-Towle an extraordinarily able interpreter on that journey. In this lovely book, Tom offers us guidelines for our lives and that is a gift in and of itself." -The Rev. Dr. William F. Schulz, President and CEO, Unitarian Universalist Service Committee

The Bridge Called Respect

Women and Men Joining as Allies

By: Tom Owen-Towle,January Riddle

This program, co-authored by a woman and a man, seeks to bring gender issues to the threshing floor. It is an opportunity to explore such issues in a structured and non-adversarial context. Recognizing that gender is a social construct, Owen-Towle and Riddle intend their bridge building as a project that can be undertaken anywhere women and men must work together -- in romantic as well as nonromantic relationships, among transgendered individuals, in religious communities and in the workplace. The Chapter Laving the Foundations provides 31 exercises with incisive questions and writing activities. A full sample schedule of an intensive weekend workshop is given, with helpful hints, ground rules, readings and exercises.

Making Peace with Our Own Death

By: Tom Owen-Towle

Owen-Towle's text is a prayer to push away the fear we often associate with the end of life." -from the Foreword by Rev. Nancy McDonald Ladd Plainly, I'm neither a scientific investigator nor a professional thanatologist. I'm a pastor, and my advice is straightforward: whatever the manner or date of our extinction might be, it behooves us to reflect deeply and prime diligently for our death, while we're still awake and kicking. May we refrain from taking a spiritual bypass and face our own end as boldly and creatively as possible. Doing so will deliver unspeakable gifts both to ourselves and to our loved ones. Making Peace with Our Own Death may become one of the most important things we will ever do. -from the opening chapter "Reflecting Upon Death Amidst a Pandemic" About the Author The Rev. Dr. Tom Owen-Towle is entering his 54th year of ordained ministry and is the author of two dozen books on personal relationships, social justice challenges, and spiritual growth. Tom and his life-partner, the Rev. Dr. Carolyn Sheets Owen-Towle, are the active parents of four children, seven grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. Tom is a guitarist and parlor magician, who, currently (pre-pandemic), in "re-firement," sings with seniors, mentor's children and youth, and volunteers with San Diego's homeless. Owen-Towle also lectures and conducts workshops on the core themes of conscious aging and mindful dying.
