Bind Up the Brokenhearted
One theory about the origin of the word “religion” has to do with binding together.

Rev. Andrew Weber
I am a life-long Unitarian Universalist, raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia. I attended Main Line Unitarian Church as a child and still have family and friends there. In my free time, I enjoy many forms of exercise, doing home repairs, spending time with my family, reading science fiction and historical fiction, discussing ethics, camping, hiking and playing cooperative board games. I live in Newark, DE (pronounced new-Ark, not New-erk) with my wife, Isabella, and two children, Micah and Grace. Because of the distance, my family seldom attend service, but occasionally they will come to social gatherings.
Theologically, my view of the Divine is both large and small. I believe in an essence which encompasses All. One could say I am an “Infinitarian” (the official theological term is panentheism). God is an all encompassing feeling of life and love, and this collective Deity is realized and witnessed to through relationships. Through meeting, working with, teaching, learning from and loving others we create and sustain God. My professional calling is to empower others to reach their full potential, and create space for transformation, self discovery and new energy.
