What does it mean to be a people of Pluralism?
Pluralism is the state of being where every individual in a diverse society has the rights, freedoms, and safety to worship, or not, according to their conscience. We do not insist that our members recite a creed, but instead, we are unified by our shared search for spiritual growth.
Included in this packet:
- Chalice Lighting
- Covenant Review
- Reflect
- Reading and Discussion
- Exercise
- Closing
To become self-aware, people must be allowed to hear a plurality of opinions and then make up their own minds. They must be allowed to say, write and publish whatever they want. Freedom of expression is the most basic, but fundamental, right. Without it, human beings are reduced to automatons.

I thought about the meaning of pluralism in a world where the forces that seek to divide us are strong. I came to one conclusion: We have to save each other. It’s the only way to save ourselves.
