Arthur Thexton, member of the James Reeb UU congregation which he helped to establish in Madison, will be with us at Blue Hills Unitarian Universalist Fellowship this Sunday October 13th. His sermon, “Old Wine in New Bottles” will highlight observances of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and what significance they may have for UU’s. Thexton promises “This will be an unusual service for us, with adapted ritual and congregational participation in a “UU Liturgy for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur”.
For those of us merely aware of these high holy days, but with little understanding of their significance, the morning promises to be an enlightening exposure to the practices, their meaning and significance to those of the Jewish faith. “What can non-Jews learn from the High Holy Days?”
Thexton attended Meadville/Lombard Theological School, received his M.A. in Religious Studies from the University of Chicago Divinity School in 1974, after graduating cum laude from Beloit College in 1972. He went on to earn a J.D. from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1977, and served as an Assistant District Attorney in Barron County during the mid-1980’s, before spending the majority of his career in Madison, WI
