UUSD to meet Aug. 27
The Unitarian Universalists of Southern Delaware will hold an in-person and livestreamed service at 10 a.m., Sunday, Aug. 27. Expanding Horizons: The Journey of Moral Imagination will be the message topic. Interim minister the Rev. Paula Maiorano said, “Expanding our moral imagination is particularly important in today’s complex and interconnected world if we are to meet the challenges the future holds. From fairy tales onward, stories change us and propel us imaginatively in ways that more formal ethical rules do not. What are the stories, both cosmic and personal, that help us expand our horizons?” For more information, go to uussd.org.
