About this episode

The episode explores the difference between choosing solitude and experiencing loneliness, and discusses the Unitarian Universalist response to feelings of isolation in modern society.

Choosing to be alone is different from loneliness. Sometimes even in the midst of people, I feel a sense of loneliness. It often surprises me. I like spending time alone, but that is a choice I can make rather than feeling like I'm all alone. Many people at this moment feel all alone. Perhaps modernity has separated us even more? What is our call as Unitarian Universalists to respond to this feeling of loneliness? Let us worship and consider further. This podcast begins with a refelction from Worship Associate Meg Arnosti.
