The Reverend Mary Ann Macklin
The Reverend Douglas Wadkins
Many of us know that we have a need to feel that our voices have been heard, and to experience that there are people who know us and appreciate us. Yet, our culture seems to work rather tirelessly at fostering isolation and a profound sense of loneliness. The Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington seeks to offer another path, and one of our primary roads to deeper connection comes from our diligent work at cultivating the craft of listening. This service will explore the essence of what it really means to listen and the true power of being heard and known.
We are happy to welcome our Senior Minister Reverend Mary Ann Macklin to our pulpit on August 30, as she returns from two months of time away.
