UU speaker to pose: 'Was Dr. Seuss a UU, closet or otherwise?'

Arthur Thexton returns to the Blue Hills Unitarian-Universalist pulpit this Sunday. Always one to provoke thought, he asks, “What does Dr. Seuss have to do with religion?” Nearly everyone is familiar with the work of Dr. Seuss, and many religions have tried to claim him as one of their own — although he apparently never joined any congregation. Thexton’s Sunday services are always followed with lively discussion and will be lively again as attenders query “Was Dr. Seuss a UU, closet or otherwise?”

A frequent guest speaker at Blue Hills UU, Thexton successfully attended the Meadville Lombard Theological School, then studied at the University of Chicago before obtaining his law degree from the UW-Madison. He served as assistant district attorney in Barron County during the mid-1980s and lived with his family in Rice Lake.

As always everyone is welcome at BHUU. Sunday services begin at 10 a.m. at 230 W. Messenger St., Rice Lake, and on Zoom. The zoom link is sent to members, although anyone interested may request it by contacting patriciashifferd@gmail.com. For more information visit bluehillsuu.org.
