Sermon delivered by Reverend Dr. Qiyamah A. Rahman on June 5, 2011.
Rev. Rahman shares her circuitous spiritual odyssey beginning
with her childhood religion in the Baptist church, her God-is-Dead
period, 10 years as a devout practicing Muslim, her
non-denominational period, and now 19 years of service in the
vineyard of Unitarian Universalism. "If Unitarian Universalism had
not existed, I would have had to invent it," she laughingly
states.
Mystical humanist/womanist/post-colonial feminist Unitarian
Universalist is how she describes herself on a good day! She
recently tackled the question, "How does my nationality, race,
gender, class and sexual orientation shape how I make meaning of
the sacred and holy in my life and how have I come to name
that?"
