An address by the Minister, Rev. Rob MacPherson - recorded on Sunday, 3rd February, 2019 in the Unitarian Meeting House in Adelaide.

In this address Rob describes the pastoral and spiritual challenges of a (Unitarian) church that professes freedom of religion as well as freedom from religion. He also faces similar challenges in his role as Chaplain of a non-denominational private school.

Rob asks: How do you develop a spirituality that is meaningful to members of a church or school community and which embraces all religious perspectives - or none, a spirituality which is inclusive rather than exclusive; subjective rather than objective?

Rob uses anecdotes to illustrate that the well-springs of Love and Spirituality are subjectively and innately human and not necessarily bound by religious dogmas.
