As we gather this Sunday, we have no idea how our elections will turn out.

With some reflection on her recent road trip across our country, Rev. Maddie Sifantus, Minister Emerita of the Universalist Unitarian Church of Santa Paula, will consider how it is with our spirits as we head into the end into the holidays after the most important election of our lifetimes, knowing that Democracy is one of our long-held Principles as UUs: “the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.”

Rev. Maddie Sifantus retired as the full time ten year settled minister of the Universalist Unitarian Church of Santa Paula, California where she is now Minister Emerita. Before that she served two small formerly Universalist congregations in Massachusetts. She was originally ordained as a community minister, founding a senior citizen chorus she directed for 20 years, the Golden Tones. She is also a professional singer.
