“What Are We Missing When We Talk About Covenant?” with Rev. Jon Luopa
Since the late 1970s, UUs have been talking more and more about covenant. Things like ‘covenant groups’ and writing our own covenants we ground in behavioral guidelines and psycho-social paradigms. Have we forgotten the spiritual depth of the concept of covenant? Let’s explore that question.
Guest Speaker Bio: The Rev. Jon Luopa retired in June 2024 after 44 years in our UU ministry, the last 25 years of which were spent as Senior Minister at University Unitarian Church in Seattle. For 15 years, he taught UU history and church governance at Seattle University’s School of Theology and Ministry. He and his wife, Annie, have been married for 44 years and have two adult daughters and two grandchildren.
