Multi-lingual Unitarians


Consider these phrases:

In the struggle, there lies our growth
In the struggle, there lies our humanity
In the struggle, there lies our wholeness
In the struggle, there lies our despair
In the struggle, there lies our hope
In the struggle, there lies our salvation
In the struggle, there lies our learning
In the struggle, there lies our achievement
In the struggle, there lies our failure
In the struggle, there lies our loneliness
In the struggle, there lies companionship
In the struggle, there lies Tao
In the struggle, there lies a glimpse of entirety
In the struggle, there lies our emptiness
In the struggle, there lies All That Is
In the struggle, there lies our Saviour

Any or all of these phrases might be used to describe the same process and experience but from different perspectives.  Any or all of them might also be substituted by one or other of the hallowed names that people use for ‘God’.

Unitarians are religious liberals used to hearing many different words and using them without fear.  We are the religious translators of many different experiences, bringing them all together into the narrative of one community.

When you come to one of our meetings for reverence and worship, bring your own language with you, and respect that of other people, and you will feel right at home.
