2025 will be a memorable year for U.S. citizens as we watch the inauguration of a new President. Also, many will be gearing up for the nation’s semiquincentennial celebration (look at the Anniversary Program Handbook and American 250). For Unitarian Universalists, our General Assembly will be in Baltimore (June 18-25). And, embedded in and related to these three events is the 100th anniversary of the “trial of the century” - Tennessee v. Scopes, 1925 - which is still shaping our communities and families in ongoing and significant ways. Together let’s explore the lasting and shaping effects of this trial.

Is it just me? Do you too feel like the current theo-political culture is not a forgiving one? Recently I’ve been confronted with the question/task/demand of shaping an apology, which may be the easy part: The harder part is what comes after an apology?
