In this conversation, recorded after church one Sunday in 2010, Art Reublinger, Unitarian Universalist (UU) minister and hospice chaplin, reflected on his UU faith and work as a hospice chaplin and how the two interplay. After aiding so many at the transition from life, Art made his own transition on August 29, 2021. Godspeed.

Be Spiritual: A Conversation with Ellen McCormick

The documentary Raw Faith tells the moving love story of Unitarian Universalist minister Marilyn Sewell's decision to retire from her church, while struggling to reconcile her self-image from her childhood. Unexpectedly, love enters her life -- a counterpoint to her childhood doubts.

Raw Faith premiers on the Documentary Channel on Sunday, May 20, 2012. Check the Documentary Channel web site for additional show times (www.documentarychannel.com). The film is also available on DVD from Alive Mind Cinema (www.alivemindcinema.com).

On Tuesday, May 15, Marilyn and I spoke by phone about the film.

My daughter Andrea is doing the Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk to fight breast cancer. This is her first time; fortunately she is walking with our friend Kristen, who has done the 3-Day multiple times.

I spoke with Andrea from camp after a long first day, walking 20 miles.

Suppose the Senate had voted to convict President Trump of one or both articles of impeachment and remove him from office. Would Republications be celebrating the election of Mike Pence, rather than finding themselves contesting the 2020 election and undermining American democracy?
