<strong>Sat., July 27th , Religious Traditions Study Group, 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM, Offsite Location, Email for Info. </strong>The third source of UUism acknowledges the wisdom of many religious traditions around the world. All are welcome to join this study group to investigate those sources of wisdom. Each month a pair will work together to research and prepare a discussion topic for the group. Dave King and Anthony McHugh will lead the first meeting with a study of how Unitarians historically challenged the established Christian doctrine of the Holy Trinity and the divinity of Christ. Future meeting topics may dive into one specific theological tradition or survey similar approaches from many traditions towards one of the seven UU principles.

Report from the Board Committee on Ministerial Transition: Rev. Theresa Soto has found an apartment and we have several volunteers to help them move in when they arrive.
