Welcome to Liz and Rev. Anne from the UU Hysterical Society! From their website: “Religion isn’t just about belief…or theology, or the principles we affirm and promote. Religion is also about culture. It’s the song you sing to your kid when they cry, the story that everyone knows but still wants to hear retold, and the in-joke that makes us all exchange glances. Culture is created and propagated in many ways. This is ours.”
