Unity in Diversity: Navigating Our Religious Pluralism

Sunday, May 5, 10 a.m., “Unity in Diversity: Navigating our Religious Pluralism,” Rev. Paula Maiorano: Pluralism rooted in love is proposed as a core UU value. So what is this kind of pluralism? Is it different from our already affirmed value of “religious pluralism” for which we are grateful? Is pluralism the same as diversity? Why does it require more than tolerance to practice? What are its benefits for an individual, our church, and our society? These are the questions which Rev. Paula Maiorano will explore in her worship reflection.

Rev. Paula Maiorano was jointly ordained in 1996 by both our UU fellowship in Chester River and her member congregation, First Unitarian Church in Wilmington, Delaware. In 2021 Rev. Maiorano retired to rejoin her spouse, Giovanni, in active membership at First Unitarian of Wilmington, after twenty-five years of parish, interim, and community ministry. She has received awards for racial justice work from YWCA and Pacem in Terris. Their sons, Andrew and Gianni, grew up at First Unitarian, and now their granddaughters are too.
