The measure of true kindness – which is different from nicety, different from politeness – is often revealed in those challenging instances when we must rise above the impulse toward its opposite, ignited by fear and anger and despair.
In a sweeping answer to creeds that divide the human family, Universalism proclaims that we spring from a common source and share a common destiny. On the 250th anniversary of John Murray’s arrival in New Jersey and the first Universalist sermon preached in America, we’ll take a look at “Universalist love.”
To heal the world, we must start with healing ourselves and each other. We have to find the sparks within ourselves that may be hidden from us – perhaps occluded, covered over, by events in our lives.
In prior years, today would be Homecoming Sunday, signifying the end of our Summer Speaker series and the launch of a new program year. We’d be returning to two services, listening to the choir sing new songs, and welcoming children back to their RE classrooms.
