Unitarians are often accused of having no definable faith, or of worshiping God, except for leaving God out of the service, and so they can't really be said to be worshiping either.

But really, belief in God, or disbelief is not what we are about.

As a group, we believe in religious freedom, not in a particular version of religion. It would seem that this is a motherhood issue these days, but it is not so.

My heart goes out the members of the Tennessee Valley Unitarian-Universalist congregation. Recent events there make it plain that supporting religious freedom still costs lives.

Gwen told me she had heard about it on the CBC radio news. I hadn't found any mention of it on my usual news sources except for liz-marcs' excellent live journal. Besides being a fairly competent journalist, her fanfiction is good, too.
