The Larger Community
The religious community is essential, for alone our vision is too narrow to see all that must be seen, and our strength too limited to do all that must be done. Together, our vision widens and our strength is renewed.
— THE REV. MARK MORRISON-REED
From Singing the Living Tradition, Reading #580. Morrison-Reed serves the First Unitarian Congregation of Toronto.
