Loss of Confidence
July 19, 2012
http://president.blogs.uua.org/liberal-religion/loss-of-confidence/In my last entry I talked about the rapid rise of the “
nones”—people who express no religious affiliation.
Another fascinating trend is the unsteady and slow decline in the confidence Americans have in organized religion. ...
...This is a volatile and vulnerable time for all religious groups. It is also a time rich with possibility. I am absolutely convinced that we
Unitarian Universalists have more potential than others. We have a message of
openness and
tolerance. We work for
compassion and
justice in the world. We offer a
spiritual home that nurtures
growth and
safe exploration. Our challenge is to
seize this opportunity.
