This Week at BBUUC…September 15

•

This week at BBUUC….

 

Lee will speak about “crossing over to the other side,” suggesting the process is like that of a child crossing at a busy intersection.

About our speaker: Lee Weaver is a retired United Methodist clergyman whose thoughts and beliefs have necessarily changed over the many years since his ordination. “Paul”, he says, “taught that we should put aside our childish ways and strive for a more mature understanding of the  salvation journey”.   He describes himself as an RCA , which he will explain on Sept. 22.

Reverend Weaver speaks at about 30 churches a year. He says it is a tightrope kind of presentation, not offending the traditional church attenders, while at the same time trying to reach the more theologically adventurous who are “reading between the lines”.

 Lee is also a playwright and an actor. He has just recently completed a play about homelessness entitled “The Box.” It is now in production for a November premier.  His most recently performed  work is The Secret – The Spanish Inquisition in OLd St. Augustine, a play about religious intolerance.You may also have seen him as Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha at The Limelight Theatre in St. Augustine, or in his original One Person Shows, Piercing the Darkness (The St. Augustine Story as told by three Lighthouse Keepers.  He plays all three!) andThree Men of the Bible (2000 performances).  He resides in St. Augustine with his wife, Nanette.

 Layleader: Sarah Ritzmann

Accompanist: Eileen Morrison
