It’s important for readers of my blog to know that ideas, beliefs, and opinions that are expressed on my personal blog are not to be considered as representing the First Unitarian Church of Portland, nor the Unitarian Universalist Association. Our religious faith calls for each member to decide all questions whatsoever, including theological, for themselves. I never expect congregants nor other readers of my blog to necessarily agree with me, nor do I expect them to assume that I am speaking for anyone other than myself.
