It's a Unitarian 'church' y'all, can't expect anything else! They can't seem to really know what they believe in, anything and everything I guess. And it's Nantucket, it reeks of leftist white entitlement. The comments are quite good!

LINK

A Nantucket church on the exclusive Massachusetts island long favored by former President Joe Biden canceled its annual Fourth of July reading of America’s founding documents, citing an effort to understand "our own whiteness" and drawing sharp criticism from conservatives.

"Our cancelling the 4th of July celebration this year reflects ... an on-going process within the congregation to better understand our own whiteness," wrote Nantucket Unitarian Universalists (NUU) and the Rev. Erin Splaine of the Second Congregational Meeting House Society in a letter published by the Nantucket Current on Thursday.

The historic Nantucket Unitarian Meeting House has hosted a public reading of the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights in downtown Nantucket each Fourth of July holiday for the past 25 years.

The letter stated that Splaine would not "engage" with anyone concerned with the cancelation on social media, saying those concerned could make an "appointment" to speak with her.

"Social media is not the place for important, tender conversations," the letter stated. She obviously has visions of being the Pope or something. 'Tender' conversations! Oh, she's a lesbian with a 'wife.' Okey dokey!

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church of Nantucket will fill the void and host its own reading of the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights.

“Those documents are aspirational. We may not be there yet, but we felt it was important to gather together and try to live up to the promises our country has made,” St. Paul’s Rev. Max Wolf told the Nantucket Current.

That pulpit pic is devoid of anything religious or Christ centered. This must be one of those places they go to worship each other and themselves.

Yeap!

Universal Unitarianism does not follow a specific religion and instead preaches “the best ways to offer that love to each other and the world,” according to the Nantucket Unitarian Universalists’ website.

It's a poorly constructed sentence. It refers to a Mass. island favored by biden, not the church.

Doesn't change his catholicism though, or lack thereof!

Anywhere in the media, for many years.

It's a well-known destination for the left-wing political elites and their courtiers.

I think they are playing a bit fast and loose with subject-verb agreement here.

According to google AI, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Paul Revere and Benjamin Franklin 'held Unitarian beliefs.'

Rejecting the traditional Trinity, they favored a rational approach to faith focused on morality, human reason, and a singular, benevolent God.

Apparently, Adams completely rejected the deity of Christ.

Key Unitarian Founding Figures

John Adams (2nd U.S. President): Raised Congregationalist, he was a devout, orthodox Unitarian who openly rejected the divinity of Christ. He firmly believed religion should align with human reason.

Thomas Jefferson (3rd U.S. President): While often classified as a deist, Jefferson was heavily aligned with Unitarian thought. He famously created the "Jefferson Bible," a version of the New Testament that removed all supernatural elements and miracles to focus solely on the ethical teachings of Jesus.

Benjamin Franklin: He identified with a rational, moral faith similar to Unitarianism. Along with Jefferson and Adams, Franklin helped support the establishment of early Unitarian congregations in the United States

Paul Revere: The famed American patriot and silversmith was a lifelong Unitarian.

I suspect that this 'philosophy' has evolved over time and their unitarianism is NOT today's unitarianism. I would have to do A LOT more reading to really understand this.

They’ll milk it when it benefits them, but afterwards, time to trash the country.

No, no! He does not go to this 'church.'

Whoever wrote the article has trouble with sentence structure and subject-verb agreement.

Biden goes to Nantucket very often, but not to the Unitarian establishment.

Well any church Biden goes to normally is obviously satanic and pretty sure ALL Unitariaian churches are demonic.
