    Global Chalice Lighting for March 2011

    The International Council of Unitarians and Universalists announces the 91st in its monthly
    series of global chalice lighting readings. Congregations worldwide are invited to
    participate.

    All ICUU-affiliated groups have been asked to submit brief chalice lightings for the project.
    Every month, a reading will be distributed to Unitarian and Universalist congregations
    around the world. We ask each congregation to use the reading for at least one worship
    service in the designated month, identifying it as the “Global Chalice Lighting” for that
    month and naming the group which submitted it. Readings will be circulated in English and,
    where different, in their original language.

    It is hoped that the ICUU Global Chalice Lighting Project will enhance the worship
    experience in our congregations and raise awareness of the international dimensions of our
    religious movement.

    This Global Chalice Lighting is submitted in German and English by the Unitarian
    Universalist Forum of Vienna, Austria. It is to be used during March 2011.

    Wir leben in einer Zeit der Wissenschaft, wir versuchen angestrengt die Welt um
    uns herum zu verstehen und so das Rätsel an der Wurzel unserer Existenz zu
    lösen. Jetzt, wo die Menschheit nach den fernsten Sternen greift, sollten wir da
    nicht auch nach etwas greifen, das uns so nahe scheint und doch in unseren
    Leben oft ferner ist als der fernste Fleck am Firmament: nach den Herzen
    unserer Mitmenschen? Die Flamme, die wir nun entzünden, soll uns ein
    Leuchtfeuer sein in der Dunkelheit, die uns trennt. Es soll uns nicht nur
    unterstützen in der weltweiten Vereinigung der Unitarier und Universalisten
    sondern das wertvolle, wundervolle Band stärken, das alle Menschen von jeher
    verbindet.
    We live in a time of science, we try very hard to understand the world around us
    and think that by doing so we can solve the miracle at the root of our existence.
    As humanity reaches out for the farthest stars should we not reach out as well
    for something very near and still in our life often farther than the farthest speck
    on the firmament: to the heart of our fellow human beings? The flame we are
    lighting now shall be a beacon in the darkness that separates us. It shall not
    only help us in uniting Unitarian-Universalists across the world but strengthen
    the treasured, miraculous bond between all people that exists since the
    beginning of time.
