Learning Objectives, Workshop 2: Against the Flow – Orthodoxy and Heresy
In "Faith like a River," a Tapestry of Faith program
Participants will:
- Understand contemporary Unitarian Universalism's relationship to historical heretics not as a direct theological link, but as a sympathetic connection based on the value of theological questioning and the principle that "revelation is not sealed"
- Learn about Arias, an early heretical figure in Western Christian history, and why he was a theological outsider
- Consider what it means to include or exclude others from a community of faith on the basis of their ideas or beliefs
- Explore whether and if so, how, one might apply the terms "orthodoxy" and "heresy" within contemporary Unitarian Universalism.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.
