What is Sikhism? — We begin the New Year with this unit exploring our third source (“Wisdom of the world’s religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life”).
We’ll begin with Sikhism.
There are more Sikhs in the USA than Unitarian Universalists but what do we know of this tradition that originated in 15th century India?
Join us as we endeavor to find out more.
