It’s been a banner year for fear. Recently, there’s been an abundance of fear-driven responses to world, national and local events. In this UU Sunday Service, we see that fear leads to other emotional responses, and blocks us from engaging in rational discourse and decision making. Understanding fear can be the first step in keeping it from clouding our thoughts, allowing us to react in ways that are helpful, constructive and kind.
