Challenging stuff here… I pose to YOU several questions… WHO DO YOU SAY WE ARE? Are we a social club with, as King says “a thin veneer of religiosity”? Or are we a sanctuary, a place of nurture, spirituality and fellowship? Or are we somehow both? WHO DO YOU SAY WE ARE as Unitarian Universalists who trace our roots back to the Christian Protestant Radical Reformation movement? WHO DO YOU SAY WE ARE as post-modern humanists who idealistically want to save the world? WHO DO YOU SAY WE ARE as Atheists, Theists, Buddhists, and Muslims, and countless other faiths and ideas, that do not have ties that bind them to Christianity? WHO DO YOU SAY WE ARE as scientists who reject creationism? WHO DO YOU SAY WE ARE today as a Unitarian Universalists? Are we confused? Do we have an identity crisis? Are we attempting to be too many things? Or are we a most profound polyphony of evolution poised to be an example for the world, religiously, in the 21st century? Think about it. Think about it…
