“Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature.”     —Tom Robbins

Rev. Alice admits that she doesnt know if we have proof that this quote from writer Tom Robbins is 100% accurate. However, play researchers and scientists have determined that play is an integral part of the evolutionary process. In this service, we will consider the different ways we play, and the importance of play throughout our whole lives. Our service also includes a UUA message for Pride Month from UU minister Rev. Manish Mishra-Marzetti.
