Reflections

In honor of New Member Sunday, we will consider one of the central tensions of our UU faith: the individual and the collective. We are individualistic in that we are each on our own search for truth and meaning. Yet we are collectivistic in that we come together in covenantal communities, and because we know our commitments to creating a better world require something much larger than ourselves alone. How do we strike a balance between the one and the many?
