KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – “Baseball, Theology, and Justice: Life Lessons From Both Sides of the Foul Line,” is the title of the service at the Unitarian Universalist Community of Lake County on Sunday, July 24.
The service begins at 10 a.m. at the Kelseyville Senior Center, 5245 Third St.
Guests are welcome, and may wear their favorite baseball outfit if desired.
The Rev. Ben Meyers, with Tom McAninley, have prepared a service which will look at baseball and religion with a light-hearted touch.
Herbert Hoover once said: “After religion, that which has furnished a greater impact on American life than any other institution is baseball.”
The Frenchman Jacques Barzun offered this insight into people’s passion for the game: “Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball.”
To those who may not be fans of baseball, this may sound like hyperbole. However, both skeptic and true believer alike are invited to join the Unitarian Universalist Community of Lake County to experience this summer service which will look at the deep and abiding lessons gleaned from the “great American past time.”

The service begins at 10 a.m. at the Kelseyville Senior Center, 5245 Third St. in Kelseyville.
Guests are always welcome to attend to learn more about the liberal religious traditions of Unitarian Universalism.
Speaker Carrie Knowles-Hance will look at how humor, like art, grapples with life’s great mysteries: sex, death and spirit.
Knowles-Hance says, “Laughter returns us to balance. Grownups, however, laugh less than one 20th the number of times that kids laugh.”
She intends to reverse that trend in this service.
Knowles-Hance helped found UUCLC a decade ago. The UUCLC was crucial to her following her call to ministry.
After a career as psychologist and attorney, she graduated last December from Starr King Seminary in Berkeley with the M. Div degree.
She is now at the midpoint of her internship serving veterans at the San Francisco Presidio, and working with the Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists. She is a former resident of Lake County.
