Nearly two centuries ago, former Universalist minister Abner Kneeland was jailed for blasphemy after challenging the religious and political powers of his time. His story raises an urgent question for ours: How do we find the courage to speak when conscience calls—without making an idol of our own certainty? Join us as we explore the prophetic work of telling the truth and refusing to surrender love to fear.

Spilt Plate: Reproductive Equity Now (REN) is focused on eliminating barriers to reproductive health care, including those related to race, ethnicity, income, and other factors. REN advocates for policies and legislation that protect and expand abortion access, in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.
