He had stated publicly his belief that all people born into the world are children of God....Meditation | By Robert Walsh | January 10, 2016 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Challenge, Commitment, Conscience, Courage, Identity, Integrity, Living Our Faith, Responsibility, Stewardship, Unitarian Universalism, Universalism

On a spring day in Farmington, Maine, as I was walking downtown, I made my way through a line of cars that were waiting for the light.
