A Free Church?

Rev Jonalu Johnstone speaks.  At times Unitarian Universalism has been described as “a free church.”  What does that mean?  A free church is sometimes defined by its separation from the government, in contrast to an established state church.  Others see it as a descriptor for churches that are governed by its members, rather than by a hierarchy outside the church.  Twentieth century UU theologian James Luther Adams proposed that a free church should be a diverse church and that it needs to address a broad range of human issues.  Our service will include a welcome of new members.  Convener is Mark Clarke at ibyte64@gmail.com.
