Difficult Words: A New Faith Development Class:  Certain words can be “difficult” for UUs because they have associations or connotations that we find troubling, perhaps because they were important in religious traditions that we no longer follow.  Emerson is invited to join Arizona UUs and friends to attend this online (zoom), discussion-based course occurring on three Thursdays, 7-8 pm, April 30, May 7 & May 14.  

See this website’s News in More Detail page for more information about this, two other online UU classes, and other events.
