DON’T THROW BABY JESUS OUT WITH THE BATH WATER: CHRISTIANITY WITHIN THE UU FAITH

Many come to Unitarian Universalism from Christian backgrounds and sometimes struggle to reconcile their past heritage with their current faith journey. Jim will share his own experiences and those of several authors who found ways to express their Christian faith within a diverse world view.

Jim Coakley lives in Appleton with his wife of 25 years and their two teenage children. His family has called the Fox Valley UU Fellowship home for 15 years and he currently serves as a lay minister. Jim is employed as a Sales Planning Team Leader at Kimberly Clark and in his spare time is in his second year as a part time seminarian at Meadville Lombard Theological School in Chicago.
