Taking Unitarian Universalism Seriously Part II: How we live? Or, “Have you guys ever thought about dying?” August 27, 2023, at 10:00 a.m.Onlineand in-person Rev. Dr. Matthew Johnson
If we are serious about our faith, how might it shift or deepen our spiritual and emotional lives? How would you approach the existential questions of life, including meaning, forgiveness, hope, and yes – death? (There will be Barbie references today). What does it mean to live our faith in your day-to-day life, amidst all the distractions and temptations of existence?
