Sunday June 8th - Rev. Arran Morton - Finding Joy in Resistance: Resilient Hearts, Bold Actions

As Canadian Unitarian Universalists, one of our aspirations is to ‘strive to work joyfully for a just and compassionate society, experimenting with new forms of community.’ In this service we will explore what our active engagement with joy can teach us and how we can cultivate joy that will guide and fuel us in creating the communities and world we seek.

This pre-recorded sermon is part of the Meaning Making series.

Rev. Arran Morton (he/they) currently lives in Saint John, New Brunswick, though he is from Scotland and moved from the West Coast (Victoria, BC) to the East Coast this summer via a cross-country road trip with his family. His work has focused on love-based community building as well as training and facilitation on issues related to healthy relationships, sexuality, conflict resolution and restorative justice/practices.

Before moving to Saint John, Arran was the Minister at Comox Valley Unitarian Fellowship for two years and before that the Director of Spiritual Exploration at First Unitarian Church of Victoria. He is currently a Spiritual Director and part-time Executive Director of a small non-profit that supports trans and non-binary youth and their families.
