“Resistance as Renewal”
Rev. Tim Temerson and Mary Beth Wiley
“As the forces of hate, intolerance, and oppression grow louder and stronger, religious communities like the UU Congregation of Charlottesville are being called on to resist. But what exactly does it mean for a congregation to resist? Does it mean social activism, spiritual deepening, or something else altogether? Today’s service will explore these questions and ask how resistance is connected to our monthly worship theme of renewal.
