“Cross Culturally Affirming Our Kinship With Heretics: The Non-Dogma of Jainism”

In this talk, I will focus on some distinctive aspects of Jain thought that I see to be particularly compatible with UU principles. I will specifically discuss aspects of Jainism that have helped me better appreciate the UU faith.
