The
Great Story Sermon and Workshop by Rev. Michael Dowd Delivered at UUCM on October 7, 2006  Michael
Dowd, a former pastor, and
Connie Barlow, an author of popular science books, embody the marriage
of religion and science as husband and wife. They are
emissaries of a worldwide ecumenical movement that
draws from the contemporary wisdom of those on the growing edge of
science and meaning. They
present The Great Story (also known as the Universe
Story, Epic of Evolution, or Evolutionary Epic), humanity’s
common creation story. It is the 14 billion year science-based sacred
story of cosmic genesis, from the formation of the galaxies and the
origin of Earth life, to the development of self-reflective
consciousness and human technology, to the emergence of comprehensive
compassion and tools to assist humanity in being a blessing the larger
body of life. The Great Story is a way of telling
the history of everyone and everything that honors and embraces all
religious traditions and creation stories. It is the sacred narrative
of an evolving Universe of emergent complexity and breathtaking
creativity and cooperation — a story that offers each of us
the opportunity to find meaning and purpose in our lives and our time
