Historically, Unitarians have enjoyed a somewhat contrarian reputation. The myth of lemmings all jumping over a cliff isn’t really true. We generally don’t jump over the symbolic cliff together, either. How do we keep centered and balanced in an age when we are expected to just follow the crowd? Or, is there a time to risk it all together?
