Tuesday, March 5 | Drop-In Discussion: Religions versus Cults: What’s the Difference?
Driving east along the NY Thruway I see highway billboards proclaiming that a certain religious organization is a cult. I’ve heard political commentators talking about the personality cult surrounding Donald Trump. What is a cult? What is religion? Can a religious organization be a cult? Are there ways to tell the difference? John Lukes will define terms and lead our discussion. Drop-in Discussions meet via Zoom on Tuesday nights from 6:30-7:30pm. Look on the First Universalist homepage for details and a link, or click the Zoom meeting link in this blurb title!

Our three UU congregations of the Greater Rochester Area will join for a service of mourning, remembering, and holding silence 7pm at First Universalist and online. This service honors the moment when Jesus of Nazareth died on the cross, honors the grief that the disciples felt, and gives us an opportunity to give voice to our own sense of loss. Tenebrae will be a quiet and contemplative service. Service link can be found on the uuroc.org homepage.
