This PodCast contains minister and lay sermons from the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Somerset Hills in North Branch, NJ.We are a congregation where persons of various backgrounds and beliefs may share freely in fellowship, worship, and service. We seek to express religion in modern terms and to apply it to the human problems of todayâs world, believing that the first concern of religion is human welfare, in body, mind, and spirit.It is the conviction of religious liberals that men and women can give embodiment of the ideals of world unity, justice, and cooperative living here on earth, and the principle of free minds, welcoming diversity of opinion and new knowledge from whatever source, is the best means to religious and ethical progress.All are welcome in this congregation, without the distinction of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, or creed. All activities are aimed toward the application of the best that all faiths and all knowledge have to offer toward a richer, fuller life for all persons everywhere here on earth.

I'd like speak about the positive results of reversing this view.
