SUMMARY:Sunday Service: Can we remain fully Human in the Age of Spiritual Machines?
DESCRIPTION:Paul Prescod\nScientists and leading capitalists have declared that they can foresee the near-term end of a project that they have been working on since 1956: the creation of digital beings that are as intellectually flexible as humans: Artificial Intelligence. \nWhether they succeed or fall short\, some form of “Homo Digitalis” is on the horizon. What are the implications for us\, the Homo Sapiens? What\, especially\, of those of us who hold reverence for humanity and nature as not just a preference\, but as a sacred devotion. \nPaul Prescod is a long-time member and a participant on our refugee team\, WDWCO team and nominating committee. He has been a professional software developer since 1997 and has spent the last year researching applications of artificial intelligence and test data synthesis. Paul has two kids\, attending Concordia University and Gladstone High. Paul’s partner\, Lilia\, is also involved in congregational fundraising and refugee resettlement. You may know her as a purveyor of gourmet mushroom soups. \nJoin us next Sunday\, December 3 at 12:30 pm for a Q&A on Artificial Intelligence\, in the Fireside room and online. \nClick Here to Download the Order of Service\nWeekly services\n\nJoin us in person in our Sanctuary or live online at https://ucv.im/live for our weekly Sunday Service\, beginning each week at 11am

SUMMARY:Sunday Service: Community as the antidote to loneliness
DESCRIPTION:Kathy Sayers\nIt’s been said that we are living in a time of profound loneliness. Kathy Sayers\, founding member of Vancouver’s newest cohousing community\, explores what happiness research says about how the communities we belong to impact our wellbeing. How does knowing your neighbours well enough to borrow a cup of sugar contribute to feelings of trust? What part do casual relations—say\, the woman in your local yoga class\, your librarian\, or your mailman—play in your happiness? Are there novel ways we can live together—like the cohousing community Kathy belongs to—that can enrich our lives and ease our feeling of separateness? \nDownload the Order of Service\nWeekly Services\n\nJoin us in person in our Sanctuary or watch the service live on this page\, beginning each Sunday just before 11 am. \nYou can also catch the current service stream anytime at vanu.ca/live

SUMMARY:Sunday Service: The City of Sisterly Love
DESCRIPTION:The City of Sisterly Love – Emilie K. Adin\n“All things being equal\, we are not.” So begins the Manifesto of the Commonwealth Women in Planning Network. On March 3rd\, we ask: where are women in the city\, and do they feel safe\, do they feel they belong? Why don’t more women design our cities? And finally\, what can our Unitarian commitment to radical inclusion tell us about how we might transform our cities? \nEmilie K. Adin is the President of the Planning Institute of British Columbia\, an Adjunct Professor at UBC and a member of the Vancouver Unitarians. Emilie’s professional planning work was recently recognized by BIV Magazine as one of the province’s 500 Most Influential Leaders. When she’s not hanging out at her house in East Vancouver\, her five-person-strong carless family is navigating the neighbourhood and beyond. Her alias for the past 25 years has been as PlanGirl\, the faltering urban planning superhero\, forever seeking “lessons to bring home.” \nDownload the Order of Service\nWeekly services\n\nJoin us in person in our Sanctuary or watch the service live on this page\, beginning each Sunday just before 11 am. \nYou can also catch the current service stream anytime at vanu.ca/live

SUMMARY:Sunday Service: What does it mean to be Unitarian?
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Shawn Gauthier\nMany years ago\, there was a trend for Unitarians and Unitarian Universalists to develop their “elevator speech\,” the brief explanation of our tradition that one might offer up to a fellow traveller as you ride from the lobby up to the 24th floor. As most people discovered\, this isn’t an easy task! In this week’s service\, Rev. Shawn will offer some tips that might be of help.\nDownload the Order of Service\nWeekly services\n\nJoin us in person in our Sanctuary or watch the service live on this page\, beginning each Sunday just before 11 am. \nYou can also catch the current service stream anytime at vanu.ca/live

SUMMARY:Rev. Shawn's Installation
DESCRIPTION:Come and celebrate the installation of our new-ish minister Shawn Gauthier at 4 p.m. on May 5th. That Sunday will look a little different\, in that the regular 11 a.m. service will be led by Rev. Claire Feingold-Thoryne\, a visiting minister and close friend of Shawn’s. \nThen at 4 p.m.\, we will have the formal Installation Service\, led by Shawn\, congregational leaders\, and visiting clergy which will include the full participation of the congregation. (Please click HERE for the words of promise that Shawn will say to us\, and we will say to him.) Also in attendance at the service will be visiting clergy from across Canada and the U.S.\, as well as representatives from the CUC and neighbouring Unitarian congregations. \nAt 5:30 p.m. we shall begin the reception in Hewett Hall\, with hors d’oeuvres by a caterer. Congregants are encouraged to bring sweet or savoury finger foods to make it a truly community feast. Given the large number of people in the Hall\, please try to bring something that requires little or no kitchen preparation. \nWe hope that you will join us on this rare ceremonial occasion. RSVP below so we can order the appropriate amount of food. Please also to let us know if you are willing and able to help with set up or clean up. \nWe look forward to experiencing this celebration of our shared ministry together. \nCarolyn Grant and Michael O’Neil \nInstallation Committee Co-Chairs \nDownload the Order of Service
