Minister’s Letter - November 2009

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

A few weeks ago, a visitor approached me and asked if we welcomed conservatives. It was a fair question. I would say that all of us at the Fellowship are theologically and religiously liberal, to some degree anyway, or we wouldn’t identify ourselves as Unitarian Universalists. We are liberal in the sense that we are [...]

CAN HUMAN BEINGS EVER REALLY GET ALONG? The Way We Treat Each Other

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

About a year ago around midday, I was walking up 85th street where we live in Manhattan and noticed a man lying on the sidewalk next to some steps leading up to an apartment building. He appeared unconscious.  I passed him by and walked around him thinking he was probably an addict or homeless person [...]
