Sunday 27th December 10.30 – 11:30 am Sunday Gathering (In Chorlton Unitarian Church and on Zoom)
In the past, religion was often understood as a body of revealed truth, and each denomination insisted on their own particular interpretation. Nowadays many people, especially the Unitarians, look to a revelation from the spirit within us all, transcending dogma. Ralph Waldo Emerson, himself a Unitarian, played an important part in developing this viewpoint with his doctrine of the Oversoul, of which our individual souls are parts.
Join us at our weekly worship service. This week’s theme is ‘Emerson and the Oversoul’, led by Mike Rutter and Tom Grimshaw. All welcome.
