This podcast is from the worship service live streamed on May 2, 2021 and presented by Dr. Elías Ortega. As a faith community, when we gather, we affirm our commitment to work towards a world shaped by justice and humanized by acts of compassion. To live our lives guided by our shared principles, we need to dare to live into a sacred community where we are shaped and transformed by our highest aspirations.

Dr. Elías Ortega is President of Meadville Lombard Theological School and Professor of Religion, Ethics, and Leadership. He served the larger Unitarian Universalist movement as a member of the UUA’s Commission on Institutional Change. Dr. Ortega can be reached at [email protected].
