September 20, 2009 - 10:15am Through the Lens of History
Today we will briefly trace the history of Unitarianism and Universalism as it came to the North American continent with the European immigration to this country in the 1700s. We tell these original stories because it is important as a congregation, belonging to the UUA, that we understand where we come from. Knowing our “creation” story and how we got to where we are gives us a theological and historical grounding. Through knowing our story, we set our own beliefs and values in context, and give ourselves a common language to create beloved community around our individual beliefs.
