August 6: Give Them Not Hell
The 18th century Universalist, John Murray, is remembered as saying, “Go out into the highways and by-ways of America, your new country . . . [and] give them not hell, but hope and courage.” He may not, in fact, have ever said this, but there is no question that our Universalist (and Unitarian) ancestors believed that our faith compels us to offer the world a different vision. As our city prepares for the arrival of the “alt-right,” it would be good to remember our forebearer’s charge. RevWik will be preaching.
