"The Faith that Guides Us"

led by Rev. Laurel Gray


Before the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King became a civil rights leader, he was a pastor, a man of faith who knew that faith was key to resistance. His legacy asks us to reflect on our own deepest roots, the faith that carries us through the trying times and asks us to envision greater possibilities.

Sermon 1/8: Our Living Tradition. Unitarian Universalism is a living tradition, which means we are always adapting and learning, trying to get clearer about who we are together. Our UUA constitution requires that we periodically reconsider even our seven principles and six sources, and we are currently in the midst of that process. Click Here to listen:
