Sunday, November 6: Dan Tinen on “Faith, Hope, and Democracy”
Unitarian-Universalism is a religion that holds great faith in democracy. It’s one of our Principles and Purposes, it’s how our congregations are organized, it’s how our denomination governs itself. We vote on our budgets, our ministers, our public statements, even the statements of principle we covenant to affirm and promote.
But is our faith in the democratic process justified? In two days following this service The United States will hold its midterm elections, and our media are filled with messages of exaggerated fear, demonization of opponents, and slanted opinions in an effort to get our vote. This is enough to shake anyone’s faith. Sunday we will try to find signs of strength and hope in the midst of all this, and fortify ourselves for whatever may come.
The service will take place in person and online. All are welcome, wearing a mask. Contact fpnorthfieldma@gmail.com for the link to join online.
