Different Responses to the Current State of Unitarian Universalism

November 17, 2023

The illiberalism that currently exerts control over the Unitarian Universalist denomination gives rise to many intense feelings. In this essay, reprinted from Issue #7 of the Liberal Beacon, Stephen Polmar aptly describes these reactions with which many of us are currently struggling.

The essay uses the lens of Kubler-Ross’s Stages of Grief model. This model and Stephen’s comments can help us resolve and turn this grief into positive actions.

The essay is entitled Different Responses to the Current State of Unitarian Universalism.
