I hope everyone is keeping warm and safe in this weather! I myself stayed off the roads today and missed our own Jim Davis's talk about the Origins of Universalism in America. According to Katherine Connor, it was very good. She writes: "Jim started with Origen of Alexandria, went on to John Murray who brought Universalism to the United States, then to Hosea Ballou who expanded the concept of Universalism. Jim went on to talk about the evolution of Universalism through recent history, and its expansion to a theology that encompasses all religions. He used very entertaining anecdotes and stories that demonstrated the evolution of Universalism."
