In the words of Emerita Anne Treadwell, Minister of Kitchener, Ontario UU Church, “There’s no challenge or moral stretch involved in acknowledging that our favourite people are worthwhile, but there’s a big challenge in recognizing the worth of people who we may find anything from mildly unattractive to morally repulsive.” Ingrid Holcomb invites you to revisit the 1st UU Principle through words, music, and meditation, and to either recommit or revise your relationship to it.
