Summary:
The sermon explores the challenge of defining Unitarian Universalist beliefs. The speaker grapples with the diversity of thought within the faith, recounting past attempts to formulate a concise explanation. Instead of focusing on specific theological doctrines, the speaker suggests that Unitarian Universalism is better understood through its actions and values. Embracing diversity, promoting justice, and striving for a better world are key tenets. Ultimately, the speaker posits that Unitarian Universalism centers on orthopraxy—right practice—over orthodoxy—right belief, emphasizing love, compassion, and the pursuit of peace and justice as the core of the faith.
