I heard Rev. Joan speak at the UUA's 2020 General Assembly and her words were inspiring, motivating and just awesome. So anyone who visits here will hear an absolutely outstanding minister preach her sermon.

A cult for political movement ideologies and earth worship. They don't have any set beliefs, and don't follow any one religious or spiritual beliefs.
