If You Can Keep It, Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair, November 3, 2024

"Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"  "A republic, if you can keep it."  Benjamin's Franklin's words at the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention in September 1787 have obvious relevance in 2024. The first Unitarians and Universalists in the United States came from the first generation after the American Revolution, and from that first generation, our tradition has been actively involved in the democratic process. How does that legacy speak to us today?
