Reverend William
Sasso
Carbondale
Unitarian Universalist Fellowship
“Service as a Spiritual
Discipline” The
Bhagavad Gita counsels us that the wise work not for themselves, but for the
welfare of the world, and this theme resonates through the scriptures of many
world religions. We are called to serve others, but how is that supposed to
work in our society? What do modern-day Unitarian Universalists learn by
thinking about our service as a spiritual discipline? Does it make sense for
like us to link these two concepts together?
The Rev. William Sasso ("Bill") has served as
minister of the Carbondale Unitarian Fellowship since August, 1999. He holds
advanced degrees in both ministry and business administration. In June, 1999,
after completing a five-year program of study, he was awarded the degree of
Doctor of Ministry (with distinction) by Meadville/Lombard Theological School
in Chicago. His doctoral thesis examined Unitarian Universalism and issues of
aging. In 2002, he was granted full fellowship in parish ministry by the
Unitarian Universalist Association's Ministerial Fellowship Committee.
