Service Leader: Dirk Bender
Service Description: Unitarianism’s most famous preacher is best known for his “arc of the universe bending toward justice.” But nearly as legendary is his decision to arm himself, keeping a loaded pistol ready as a member of the Boston Vigilance Committee to protect enslaved people. What does that teach us about arming ourselves today, in 2025?
