Crossing Borders: Bridging the Political Divide – UU is a liberal religion. That does not mean only political liberals are welcome, or it shouldn’t. It is natural to feel comfortable being with people who think like us. But is that our mission? Do we have any responsibility to grow our religion? Paul Roche and Allie (Roche) Lynch will explore the chasm that has only widened between the “right” and “left” in our country and how it impacts our beloved religion. They will discuss the myriad and subtle ways conservatives are not welcomed in our churches and what we can and should do about it. The genesis of this service was a presentation delivered by Rev Anya Sammler-Michael, Rev Scott Sammler Michael, Rev Nancy McDonald Ladd, and Paul Roche at several UU General Assemblies.
