Guest Lead: Rev. Rêve Courtney Eltringham
We Unitarian Universalists profess a faith of love. More than simply a feeling, love is an action word that calls us beyond ourselves to work for justice in our world. As public theologian Dr. Cornel West wisely stated, “justice is what love looks like in public.” In today’s service we will explore the future of our faith in bridging Unitarian Universalist public and parish ministries. You might be asking, “what’s the difference?” and “why do we even need a bridge?”
