UU Wellesley Hill Celebrates the Installation of the Rev. Dr. Kelly Murphy Mason

WELLESLEY, Mass. - April 3, 2019 - PRLog -- The Unitarian Universalist Society of Wellesley Hills (UU Wellesley Hills) will install Rev. Dr. Kelly Murphy Mason as its 13^thminister on Sunday, April 7^that 3pm. In the Unitarian Universalist tradition, an Installation is a special event held to celebrate and solemnize the congregational call of a settled minister. For UU Wellesley Hills the coming installation will also be an opportunity for the congregation to reaffirm its deep commitment to shared ministry and strong bonds of fellowship.

During the April 7th Installation service, the Rev. Ana Levy-Lyons, the senior minister at First Unitarian Congregational Society of Brooklyn, where Rev. Kelly was Community Minister from 2016-2018, will preach her sermon titled "Guided and Grounded". The following evening, Monday, April 8^that 7pm, Rev.Levy-Lyonswill lead a discussion at UU Wellesley Hills about her 2018 book No Other Gods: The Politics of the Ten Commandments,recently released in paperback. This book talk will focus on how the Ten Commandments can offer direction for our 21^stcentury challenges, including corrupted power structures, assaults on the environment, and the various ways society undermines our sense of personal worth today. Autographed copies of Rev. Levy-Lyon's book will be available for purchase. "It's clear from Ana's preaching and writing that the wisdom of the ancients is not lost on her - rather, it's orienting and spiritually grounding in these uncertain times," Rev. Mason says. "It also makes her supremely mindful of the generations to follow."

UU Wellesley Hills has served as a meeting place for Unitarian Universalists for 150 years now. To showcase and honor the congregation's rich history, a historical exhibit will be displayed at UU Wellesley Hills during the weekend of the Installation and throughout the rest of the month of April. UU Wellesley Hills is a Welcoming Congregation, open to people of all races, cultures, genders, orientations and religious backgrounds. As Rev. Kelly stated in her welcome message to the community, "Whatever your situation in life, wherever you find yourself on your spiritual journey, here you are welcomed without qualification or reservation, exactly as you are."
