Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we dive deep into the radical roots—and revolutionary potential—of Unitarian Universalism by reclaiming the "Universal" in our tradition. What does it mean to believe in a faith that affirms the inherent worth and dignity of every person, not just spiritually but politically, economically, and socially? We explore Universalism not as a vague ethic of inclusivity, but as a bold demand for universal social policy: healthcare, housing, education, safety, and liberation—for all.Drawing from the legacies of Universalist preachers, socialist theologians, and contemporary movements for justice, we ask: How can UU communities move from charity to solidarity, from symbolic welcome to systemic change?💡 Whether you're a lifelong UU, a curious leftist, or someone seeking a liberatory spiritual practice, this conversation is an invitation to imagine what faith looks like when it refuses to leave anyone behind.Follow us to stay in touch and help build ecosocialism:Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@UUEcoSocialistNetwork⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3Av0Cc2⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠tinyurl.com/UUESN⁠Reach out for more info: ⁠[email protected]
