2025-07-06 ● The Rev. Mark Richards ● Life Believing In Itself

We are a nation divided by fear. Some say it is an existential fear of those who have a fundamentally different understanding of truth and reality. Others say it is a manufactured fear, generated by those seeking power playing on the unconscious prejudices of a distracted people. We will explore the various relationships that exist for us in the personal, social, and political dimensions. We’ll take a look at where our current divisions may have originated. We’ll wrap it all up with a reflection on how UU values can become a source for resolving our differences and bringing our nation back to its highest aspirations.
