This is the question that the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate asked of Jesus when Jesus was on trial for his life. Not a good sign when the judge at your trial is asking you this type of question. Perhaps P Pilate was asking, is truth absolute or relative? Is there any validity to the saying that there are three sides to a perspective—yours, mine, and the truth? We as UU affirm and promote a free and responsible search for truth and meaning. This sounds truly wonderful, but what does this really mean and, even more importantly, what does it look like in our day to day existence? What is truth and what is our resistance to it? These are crucial questions, not only for us as UUs but for us as human beings wanting to create a more just, fair, and loving society. Let’s explore the meaning of “truth” as we begin 2016.
