Rev. Carlton Elliott Smith is one of nine Congregational Life Staff currently serving the Southern Region of our Unitarian Universalist Association. Before returning to his hometown of Holly Springs two and a half years ago to begin his current position, he served several Unitarian Universalist congregations in the Northeast (and one in California) as a parish minister. In addition to being the primary contact for our congregations in Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana and Pensacola, Florida, Carlton is also the staff person accountable for coordinating and supporting justice work in our region, and is one of the members of the Black Lives of Unitarian Universalism Organizing Collective.
At the center of our Universalist heritage is a god too compassionate and forgiving to condemn anyone to eternal punishment. This Valentine's Day, we will contemplate the meaning of holding ourselves others in unconditional positive regard, demonstrated by our willingness to show overall acceptance and withhold our own personal biases.
