A year of indescribable loss. Let’s make space for the grief we carry due to the pandemic. May we find hope and healing in one another and the Love that binds us.
Universalism’s message of universal salvation, where all souls are
ultimately restored to God, may need a new marketing message in the 21st century.

We are at the cusp of something new, a paradigm shift, if we will but have the courage to lead.
