35. Yes, no both siderism needed

Nov 10

I couldn’t have taken that. My former congregational church pastor, personally liberal, still had to walk a line during Covid times not to alienate the folks on the right. The UU service today talked a lot about how we could hope to stand together against the evil. Nothing ambiguous, and the people were all in.
