A Religion with Heart

 In today’s anxious environment, beset by conflict, our faith needs to be strong and resilient.  Many times we declare ourselves to use reason and thought as key to solving issues.  But we tend to neglect our Universalist tradition which stressed a more wholistic way to resolve conflict.  We know a lot about our Unitarian history, but not as much about our Universalist history and how it continues to influence our faith today.  We will explore our Universalist stream and hopefully deepen our Unitarian Universalist faith.
