Welcome to the third season of Roots to Leaves, a podcast about Unitarian Universalist history, theology and polity. This season, the Community Church of New York is partnering with UU Wellspring to offer an official companion podcast for their Love at the Center curriculum, focused on the core values of Unitarian Universalism: Justice, Equity, Transformation, Pluralism, Interdependence, and Generosity - with LOVE at the center of them all.
Throughout the season, our hosts, Rev. Jude Geiger, Br. Zachary Stevens-Walter and Dr. Yvonne Garrett, will be speaking with UU faith leaders who helped build this new curriculum, exploring each of the values on their own and in tandem. These conversations are intended to serve as thought-provoking and accessible companions to Love at the Center, or a standalone resource for anyone looking to explore the core values of our faith.
In the first episode, our hosts are joined by Linnea Nelson, Executive Director of UU Wellspring. They discuss the implications of transitioning from the language of "principles" to "shared values," the challenges and opportunities of putting "love at the center" into practice, and how the emphasis on love within Unitarian Universalism provides common ground with other faiths and belief systems.
