11:00 am ~ UU 101: A Brief History of Unitarian Universalism
Too often, people assume the Unitarian Universalism is a New Age religion or not a religion at all! How do you answer when someone asks, What do UU’s believe? or Just what kind of church is this anyway if you don’t believe in the Bible or Jesus? Do you believe in God?
As Barbara Meredith says, “Unitarian Universalists have said for centuries that there is room in our religion for all seekers. Skeptics and poets and scientists are welcome here, as nonconformists and shy and uncertain folk. We believe that restlessness and doubts are a sign of grace, that the love of truth is the holiest of gifts.”
Speaker: our minister Cathy Harrington
