THE SHELTER OF SUSTAINING FAITH
Rev. Jessica Purple Rodela
Music: Stephen Preece

Rebecca Parker writes of Unitarian Universalism: “A theological house can be a place of hospitality to any who seek its shelter; it can honor religious diversity and welcome creative exchange among multiple religious practices and perspectives. . . . This is the way of progressive faith: An open door stands at the threshold of our theological house, its doorsill well-worn by comings and goings. . . . Let the walls of our theological house symbolize the shelter of community.” Come imagine the possibilities we can create through engagement, connection, commitment, and faith.

This is Bring-A-Friend Sunday.
