Principled and Purposeful! What does it mean to be UU in these times?
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains
July 3, 2022
Rev. Kevin Tarsa with Cheryl Morris, Worship Associates
We launch our summer theme – asking what our Unitarian Universalist Principles ask of us – by asking what it means to be Unitarian Universalist in these times. And how and why does being UU matter? Freshly informed by the gatherings of UU Ministers and UU members from across the country just one week earlier, we’ll look ahead with principles and with purpose for the spiritual center of this tradition.
