EIGHTH ANNUAL ALBERT SCHWEITZER SERMON AWARD

UFETA (Unitarian Universalists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) announces the eighth annual Albert Schweitzer Sermon Award. The award, which carries an honorarium of $400, will be presented to the Unitarian Universalist presenter of a sermon that best exemplifies Schweitzer's principle of "reverence for life." The sermon must have been delivered before a UU congregation between April 1, 2005 and March 31, 2006. Recipients must also be planning to attend the 2006 UUA General Assembly where they will deliver their sermon in a special worship service.

Please submit sermons by April 1, 2006 as a hard copy and an electronic copy to:

Rev. Lee Griener (505-232-0522)

Note from LoraKim Joyner: Basically, the point of the Schweitzer Sermon is to encourage people to have services and to preach about nonhuman issues—with an emphasis on respect and reverence for animals. What we are looking for is a copy of the sermon given during this worship service (and if you need to include a reading or two for it to make sense, then please do). Send both a hard copy and an electronic copy to Rev. Griener's addresses above. And if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to contact me at amoloros@juno.com. You don't have to worry about tapes, etc.
