For the several years Paul Friedman has written blog entries about Unitarian Universalist ideas for this website. They have also been published as articles in the Sedona Red Rock News for people who want to know more about UU / Unitarian Universalism.

Paul and his wife Tanya Mayer (former SUUF President), relocated to San Diego, California, in March 2025.

Continue to watch this space as we publish more of Paul’s insights every few days. They are timeless.
