Led by Frederick Lancaster
I have strong convictions and have created a unifying vision from my own moral and ethical basis. I find this moral basis in the last line of the Pledge of Allegiance, “Liberty and Justice for All.” I will explore how our world’s moral framework can be easily adapted to our community and world-at-large, starting with the prevailing value of our capitalist economy, which I see as greed. In discussing the UU values of Interdependence, Equity, and Generosity, I will introduce my personal spiritual practice which will incorporate liberal values with community involvement.
