November 10, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "In These Hard Times, Learn How to Find Hope in Unitarian History"
As the country faces the task of trying to come together after this year's election, Rev. Claudia Elferdink will talk about lessons from Unitarian Universalist history that may prove helpful.
"With a difficult election, I will share my personal story of finding strength to persevere. Who are the Unitarians? Where do they come from? Unitarian Universalists stand on the shoulders of courageous ancestors. How does it matter, today, that in 1568 Transylvanian Unitarians stood up for religious freedom in the face of the oppressive and corrupt Roman Church?" she said.
Susan and Bert Mittlestadt and special guest Ken Keppeler will provide music for the service.
