Upcoming Services

June 26. Radical Acceptance & Radical Love on the Great American Roadtrip
Service led by: Katherine Schneider
In times of extreme polarization, how might we lean into our UU values to a path forward? Can we practice “radical acceptance” of and even “radical love” for those with whom we disagree, perhaps vehemently? Katherine Schneider’s answer to this question involved a pandemic year adventure in an Airstream on the Great American Roadtrip, meeting all kinds of people and confirming we have more in common than not.
Dr. Katherine Schneider is a family physician and health system executive who has been an independent consultant since 2021 when she returned home to Philadelphia from a yearlong, solo Great American Roadtrip. She has been a member of the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia since 2010 and has served in various volunteer leadership roles there as well as with the UU Service Committee. She and her husband, Dr. Bill Petricone, live in Center City.
