*Note on The Rev. Naomi King’s topic: Univeralism’s primary message calls us to lead lives of bold compassion and work to create tangible hope through our new cities of refuge. As an eschatological faith, we live in the present moment, for the people and the planet that are perishing, particularly for those in this moment who are being shunned, excluded, neglected, and left behind. We celebrate that from the rejected cornerstone comes the great city and restored land in dust and mire, with practice and failure, and ever with dancing and song, guided by great and abiding love. |
