Beloved Community in an Age of Artificial Intelligence: The Wisdom of Martin Buber (Part Two)
2026-01-18 10:30 - 12:30 | West Room and Zoom
Rev. Lee Anne Washington
This Sunday’s service explores the wisdom of Martin Buber and what it means to place relationship—not individuality—at the center of a meaningful life. In a time shaped by artificial intelligence, digital connection, and increasing social isolation, we will reflect on how beloved community offers an antidote to loneliness and fragmentation. Together, we’ll consider how meaning is formed through relationships, how disagreement need not destroy connection, and how our congregation can become a place where people are truly seen, known, and needed. The service will conclude with a participatory ritual inviting members to share the gifts they bring to our shared life.

Children’s Chapel will be held this Sunday. Children should head straight to their classrooms when arriving.
This is the first of a four-part sermon series that will culminate in a Deep Dive Sunday on February 8th.

Beloved Community in an Age of Artificial Intelligence: The Wisdom of Martin Buber (Part Three)

Beloved Community in an Age of Artificial Intelligence: The Wisdom of Martin Buber (Part Three)

This week’s service – Will be held via zoom

Rev. Lee Anne Washington

All Real Living is Meeting: we spend hours each week on Zoom, Google Meet, and social media—connected, yet distant. Online tools help us stay in touch, but often leave something to be desired when what we crave is companionship.

Drawing on Martin Buber’s insight that “all real living is meeting,” this service explores why meaning is most deeply made through in-person encounters, and why shared presence, service, and community life continue to be vital sources of meaning. Embodied community matters more than ever in an increasingly digital—and soon AI-shaped—world.

Due to the incoming snowstorm, our service will ironically be held on zoom click

————————————-
The UUCNH Meditation Group will explore the contemplative practice of meditation. Together we will learn and practice various types of meditation, including meditation on breath, mindfulness meditation, and loving-kindness meditation. Sessions will last between 45-60 minutes, 30 of which will consist of guided meditation, with the remaining time reserved for questions and discussion. Please join us; no registration required.
Meditation is an ancient contemplative practice that permeates cultural and religious boundaries, with roots in most faith traditions. It can also be a totally secular practice. While our group will primarily explore meditation practices that are prominent in the Buddhist tradition, these teachings will be applicable to individuals of all backgrounds and beliefs, aligning with our Unitarian Universalist principles of acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations.
To begin, we will use guided meditation recordings from the Insight Meditation Center, specifically their Introduction to Mindfulness series. Each recording provides context and basic instruction, with additional guidance throughout the session. A gentle bell will signal the conclusion of the meditation, after which we can take a few minutes to reflect and share our experiences. We may also incorporate a brief loving-kindness meditation at the beginning to help settle and gladden the mind, making it more conducive to mindfulness meditation. Our program will evolve over time, and we welcome feedback and suggestions.
Our group embraces this timeless spiritual practice to foster a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us. Whether you seek insight, relaxation, or a sense of community sitting together in silence, we welcome you to join us on a journey of mindfulness, concentration, and compassion.
