Yelling at God Until You Are Hoarse
May 17, 2026
Theodicy is the high-dollar word that describes the struggle to understand an omnipotent God that allows evil and bad things to exist. As UU’s we can get stuck on insisting that any god is a loving god and place all the blame for bad things on other people and/or their bad choices. But other theologies take the struggle head on. What might happen if you yell at God until you are hoarse?
Children and youth in kindergarten through 12th grade will be meeting in person in their classes after being present in the sanctuary for the first part of the service.

What is Unitarian Universalism?
Unitarian Universalism’s (UU) faith tradition is diverse and inclusive. We emerged from the union of two radical Christian groups: the Universalists, who organized in 1793, and the Unitarians, who organized in 1825; they joined to become the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) in 1961. Across the globe, the UU legacy reaches back centuries to liberal religious pioneers in England, Poland, and Transylvania. We are people of all ages, people of many backgrounds, and people of many beliefs. We are brave, curious and compassionate thinkers and doers. We create spirituality and community beyond boundaries, working for more justice and more love in our own lives and in the world.
Unitarian Universalism draws from our heritages of freedom, reason, hope, and courage, building on the foundation of love. We covenant, congregation-to-congregation and through our Association, to support and assist one another in our ministries.
Love is the power that holds us together and is at the center of our shared values. The values we share include all the following, which we hold as inseparable and deeply interconnected:
Interdependence: We honor the interdependent web of all existence and acknowledge our place in it.
Pluralism: We are all sacred beings, diverse in culture, experience, and theology.
Justice: We work to be diverse multicultural Beloved Communities where all feel welcome and can thrive.
Transformation: We adapt to the changing world.
Generosity: We cultivate a spirit of gratitude and hope.
Equity: We declare that every person is inherently worthy and has the right to flourish with dignity, love, and compassion.
Wildflower Church is part of the UUA, which helps support more than 1,000 member congregations in the United States of America. Each UU congregation is autonomous—congregational leaders set their own priorities and choose their own ministers and staff. The UUA’s member congregations are all committed to inseparable and deeply interdependent shared values of interdependence, transformation, generosity, pluralism, justice, and equity—all centered around love.
