How can I belong when what I believe isn’t what you believe?
Rev. Meg Roberts
As Unitarians, one of the principles we affirm is “acceptance of one another, and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations.” How do we do this when we each draw from different sources for our inspiration? How can we relate to one another when there are such differences? I’ll propose some ideas and methods that may help, and I look forward to hearing what works for you.
