THE REV. PETER C. BOULLATA: I am a Unitarian Universalist minister serving an historic, forward-looking congregation in Massachusetts. This blog is a venue for liberal religious theological reflection, conversation, and exploration. How do the historic testimonies of religious liberalism (Unitarian, Universalist and beyond) inform our contemporary faith and practice? What are our sources of authority? How do we engage the moral and political issues of the day as people of faith? What are godly ways of shaping the social order? What meaningful spiritual practices sustain us? What might religious liberalism look like in a postmodern age?

When Quakers intend to pray for somebody, they use the phrase, “I will hold you in the Light.” To be held in the Light is to be the subject of loving concern and prayerful attention.
