Let Go and Grow | Adrian Graham

Join Adrian Graham, UU seminarian, for a service entitled “Let Go and Grow.” As Unitarian Universalists, we collectively affirm and promote “acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations.” What might actual adherence to this, our 3rd Principle, look like in practice today? In living these values, might we find salvation?
