Sunday, March 9, 2025 10:00 AM Pluralism is at the heart of Unitarianism, a tradition that celebrates individual right of conscience and favors no particular creed. We celebrate that we are all sacred beings: diverse in culture, experience, and theology, and covenant to learn from one another in our free and responsible search for truth and meaning. Today, it seems it is getting harder to embrace our differences and commonalities with love, curiosity, and respect. Our shared value of pluralism is … Continue reading 9 Mar 2025: Pluralism, Now?

Co-founder Bob Seay will describe why and how that process originated and how it has changed over the years. What might we learn from our own history? When does collaboration bring joy to our daily lives? When does it create community? … Continue reading  27 Feb 2022: “This Church Follows No Creed” with Bob Seay
