All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church

Dr. Walter Kania -- "The Jesus Mystery!"
2021-07-11 10:30 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | All Souls UU Church, 25 Church St., Bellville, Ohio, 44813
Sunday Service- 10:30 a.m.
Speaker: Dr. Walter Kania
Leader: Bambi Gordon
Topic: “The Jesus Mystery!”
As a UU member you may have left concerns about Jesus a long time ago. You may have even rejected traditional Christianity and become a UU member because of the problems that you had with the person of Jesus and the promotion of false teachings about Jesus in the Christian religion beliefs and practices. After being in and speaking as a guest in 3 different. UU churches (Bellville, Cleveland, and Naples) I can honestly say that you don’t hear any conversation about the person or the name Jesus in those 3 places. And that is understandable. If, however, you are A Course In Miracles follower who is also a UU member you have to become clear about the beliefs and teachings of The Buddha, the Hindus, and Jesus and the commonalities that exist with regard to the genuine teachings of each Spiritual Path. You may be very surprised about who this Real Jesus is that is unknown to today’s traditional Christians.

Mark Jordan - "Nature vs. Nurture: New Perspectives in the Ceely Rose Murders"
2021-06-20 10:30 - 12:00 | All Souls UU Church, 25 Church St., Bellville, Ohio, 44813
Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.
Speaker: Mark Sebastian Jordan
Leader: Brian Moore
Title: “Nature vs. Nurture: New Perspectives in the Ceely Rose Murders”
Topic: Mark Sebastian Jordan updates his latest research in the Ceely Rose murder cases to coincide with the publication of his book from The History Press. New finds include Ceely Rose’s relationship to another murderer, executed in Ohio during the 1920’s which begs the question: Is this kind of madness innate or something caused by dysfunctional family/society?
Bio: Mark Sebastian Jordan has been an active presence on the Ohio arts scene for over thirty years as a writer, actor, director, playwright, and improv comedian. His Malabar Trilogy of historical dramas was featured in sell-out performances for a decade at Malabar Farm State Park.
Mark is a writer with numerous publication credits and awards, and works as a freelance journalist for publications all over the world. He has written about classical music for numerous publications, and currently reviews concerts for Seen & Heard International. Mark also gives music appreciation talks for the Mansfield Symphony.
Book publications include The Book of Jobs, 1776 & All That, Murder Ballads: American Crime Poems, and Slammer, Private Dick. Mark also writes for the blog Voices from the Borderlands. Mark has also just been awarded a grant for individual excellence from the Ohio Arts Council in criticism for his reviews and essays.
Mark describes himself as a refugee of the corporate business world, where he spent a decade in packaging purchasing. Finding himself compulsively writing and creating to escape the unfulfilling day job, he fled when a corporate buyout ended his position. Since then, he has only worked jobs that offer personal fulfillment and creativity. Starting in 2007, Mark began publicly sharing his work as a poet and storyteller and since then has performed all over Ohio.

Cara Mia -- "Solstice Solace"
2021-06-13 10:30 - 12:00 | All Souls UU Church, 25 Church St., Bellville, Ohio, 44813
Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.

Speaker: Cara Mia
Leader: Hayley Young
Title: “Solstice Solace”
Topic: The Wheel of Fortune card in the Tarot, “Jera” from the Elder Futhark runic alphabet, the Solar Wheel of the Year, all are symbolic of the cycle of time, the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. At the Summer Solstice on June 20, the sun is at its height, the peak of daylight hours and warmth here in the Northern Hemisphere. But in each moment we are aware of the full circle: in the Southern Hemisphere, winter solstice approaches. As we are entering our longest days, the other side of the planet readies for its longest nights.

In light there is also darkness. In darkness, there is also light. This is the weight and promise of the Wheel. As it turns and we move up, we know there will come a time when we move back downward. When we are down, we can rely on the fact of an eventual return to the top. And so the Wheel turns….

Dr. Walter Kania “Divine Energy and the Field”
2020-03-08 10:30 - 11:30 | All Souls UU Church, 25 Church St., Bellville, Ohio, 44813
10:30 a.m. Sunday Service
Speaker: Dr. Walter Kania
Topic: What does the word “Divine” mean?
When we call something Divine we are usually referring to:
– A Power beyond our imagination.
– A Force or Power that is WITHIN us but is not OF us.
– A Force behind and beyond all that exists and that is responsible for all that exists.
– The Invisible that is beyond the Creation of all that is visible.
What is the Field?
When we refer to the Field we are talking about:
– A vast sea of energy within the Universe that also contains the entire Universe. We sometimes call this the Divine or the Source of all that exists.
– The Essence of the Supernatural or Paranormal.
– The place where Mind and Matter are connected.
– That which connects us to each other and to all that exists.
Today’s message will provide us with the results of experiments in Quantum Physics that identify the presence of what we call the Divine in the Field. It is a Force and an Energy that exists in what is sometimes called the Zero Point Field. It operates in a realm about which we know little but provides evidence of its existence in all of our lives.
Bio: Dr. Walter Kania is a licensed Clinical and Consulting Psychologist. He holds a PhD from Michigan State University. He has maintained an active Clinical and Consulting practice. He also holds a Master of Divinity degree from Texas Christian University. He is ordained in the Congregational Church (United Church of Christ) and The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). He has served on the faculties of Texas Christian University, Bethany College, The Ohio State University, and The Renaissance Academy of Florida Gulf Coast University. He is the author of five books, “Healthy Religion,” “A Believable Bible,” “A Credible Christianity”, and “Spirituality Without Sin and Salvation.” His newest book #5 will be available early 2019. The title is “Spiritual
Psychology.” He conducts seminars and is a frequent speaker in the fields of Psychology, Religion, and Spirituality.
