A Religion Willing to Say ‘Hell No!’

16-04-17 – A Religion that Tells You to ‘Go to Hell’9 am and 11 am

Long ago in our Universalist heritage there was a man named John Murray who said, “Give them not hell, but hope and courage…” It was a way of both denouncing a fear-based religious approach to Love AND learning to approach Love by modeling hope and courage. In this sermon, we will examine the hell created to scare us and the hell we create ourselves.
