Sunday Worship: Faith In Action

James Witker, preaching

Michael McCormack, Worship Associate

Why is social justice work so deeply intertwined with the life of Unitarian Universalist congregations such as ours, and has it always been so? Let’s reflect on the life and legacy of James Luther Adams, the 20th Century’s most influential Unitarian thinker and theologian, who helped generations of religious liberals see the intimate connection between faith and action.

We are not a religious tradition with a creed, but a religious movement that has always wedded social justice work to theology. – James Luther Adams
