Online Service – A Long History of Heretics: Part 1

Have you ever tried to explain what you believe as a Unitarian Universalist and been met with a blank stare or considered a heretic? This Sunday, Rev. Art Severance (view bio) will lead us to consider our “heretical” history. Here is an invitation to join us in Art’s own words.

Mark Twain said, “Faith is believing what you know ain’t so,” and from that we know he was thinking like Unitarians and Universalists have always thought, except we would then question that kind of faith! And when you start questioning, you become a heretic, a word that means “choice,” but really means WRONG choice. I will argue that our Founding Fathers weren’t Christians but heretics and Unitarians, the Pilgrims heretics from the Church of England which were heretics from Catholicism. Emerson was a heretic from Unitarianism! And let’s talk about the difference between Arianism and Socinianism – it was a huge debate in early Unitarianism!
