With their radical belief in salvation for all, how did Universalists put their beliefs into action amid a shifting social landscape in the U.S. in the 19th and early 20th centuries? As we work to build justice and equity in the present day, what can we learn from their successes and failures? Presented by Thea Holcomb, an undergraduate in Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Utah, and is a member of the First Unitarian Church of Salt Lake City.
First Universalist Church will be hosting Midweek Meditation services with Rev. Lane and/or Rev. Michelle on Wednesdays from 11:30am-noon. A time to connect for deep breathing, meditation, singing, and silence. On second Wednesdays, an extra half hour of sharing will follow the traditional format.
