Nobody is here to take your call so please leave a message and we will return your call as soon as possible.” We hear the sound of a trumpet in the background and an astonished voice saying, “Oh! My Clothes!” And then silence. Garrison Keillor responds, “The Unitarians? Gone?
What would the Second Coming be like if He/She/It was a UU?
It’s a fun question I’ve been pondering because it’s more fun than the old classics like “When a tree falls in a forest…?”
What do you think?
