Translations of Cheer
Jessica Clay, MDiv Student Starr King School for the Ministry and Candidate for Fellowship UUA. Sometimes faith feels like the telephone game. We each have our own experience, but when we try to convey it to another we end up getting lost in translation. How do we respond with grace to different theologies within Unitarian Universalism? By looking at our rich history we can learn stories of our elders and their struggles with this very question. Join us in worship as we explore the past and let it inform the present to guide each of us on our spiritual journeys.
