Before beginning his ministry at the Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists in August, 2009, the Rev. Ben Meyers served as Consulting Minister to congregations throughout the Pacific Central District of the Unitarian Universalist Association (Northern California and environs.) He served seven years as minister at the Mission Peak UU Congregation in Fremont, CA. Rev. Meyers has studied theology, philosophy, music, history, business management and organizational development. In other fields, he has been a teacher, chef, professional musician, and administrator at the second largest environmental conservation organization in America. He is happy to be a part of the long legacy of Social Justice and Spiritual Growth at the Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists.

By and large, we tended to practice the same faith tradition as our parents and few people questioned what they were taught to believe. Today, in contrast, recent data from Pew Research Center indicates that 44 percent of Americans identify with a religious or spiritual tradition different than the one they were born into. Spiritual seeking is now a mainstream phenomenon, with a growing percentage of the population open to exploring a variety of religious or spiritual beliefs and practices. Drawing as it does upon a wide array of sources, the Unitarian Universalist tradition is particularly supportive of an ongoing process of spiritual seeking. Indeed, UUism's fourth principle actually enshrines this practice, saying that we "affirm and promote ... a free and responsible search for meaning." In this service, we'll consider what it means to be engaged in a lifelong search for spiritual meaning.
