The Wisdom of Dory
Rev. Dr. Mary Early-Zald, guest minister
Sometimes, an animated Blue Tang fish in a Pixar movie can teach us surprising lessons. The Rev. Dr. Mary Early-Zald invites you to explore radical acceptance, interdependence, and generosity through the eyes of this delightful character, who just keeps swimming.
Music: Brian Gilmore
The Rev. Dr. Mary Early-Zald is a UU Minister and Chaplain who serves as the Affiliated Community Minister at Beacon Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Summit. Currently providing care with unhoused communities, she has also worked in Hospice, Hospital, and Movement Chaplaincy. Mary received her M.Div. at Vanderbilt Divinity School and her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Minnesota.
Guest Musician Brian Gilmore is a familiar face at UUCMC. Brian earned a Masters in piano performance and is devoted to chamber music. As a professor at Ocean County College, Brian coordinates the applied music program, has revitalized the afternoon recital series, and often collaborates with faculty, students, and area musicians to make classical music more present within the community.

June Theme: FLOURISHING TOGETHER
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
I get by with a little help from my friends.
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as l live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.
A society grows great when the old plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.
Hoarding won’t save us… All flourishing is mutual.
Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.
‘Independence’ … middle-class blasphemy! We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.
Until the killing of Black men, Black mothers’ sons, becomes as important to the rest of the country as the killing of a white mother’s son—we who believe in freedom cannot rest.
What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.
