"Talking in Tongues"

Clint Tawes

Growing up in a Pentecostal church, glossolalia (better known as speaking in tongues) was a regular part of public worship and private devotion. While speaking in tongues is not part of our faith as Unitarian Universalists, it is a topic worth delving into. Join us as we explore the world of "speaking in tongues" as a metaphor and symbol for values cherished by Unitarian Universalists. Through this unique lens, we hope to gain a deeper understanding of the connections between diverse faith traditions and the shared principles that unite us.
