Twenty years after the groundbreaking Unitarian Universalist book “Worship That Works” first shaped understanding of Unitarian Universalist liturgy, Seminarian, LaVonne Limpus, revisits its core principles with insights of evolving community needs. She will reflect on how the book’s call for authenticity, intentionality, and spiritual depth still resonates, but now, how we can challenge our congregations to move beyond inherited forms and into co-created ritual that honors pluralism, ecological urgency, and embodied presence. Drawing from her chaplaincy work and professional speaking, she invites worship leaders to see liturgy not as performance, but as communal transformation, where silence, story, and symbol are tools for resilience in a time when UU Values are needed more than ever.
