Love is the Spirit of this church
February 19, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. Online and in-person Rev. Dr. Matthew Johnson
The Unitarian Universalist Association is proposing to change “Article 2”, where we articulate who we are and what we are about. They are placing at the center of this statement “love,” which we here have named as the spirit of our church. What does it mean to say that love is the center of our faith? What makes that real? And what do I think about the article 2 revisions? We have special musical guests for a special treat as well – don’t miss it.
