EV - 253 The Gadfly Papers with Todd Eklof

October 13, 2022 / The Void

My guest this week is Reverend Todd Eklof, author of The Gadfly Papers: Three Three inconvenient essays by one pesky minister. Rev Eklof was removed from fellowship with the Unitarian Universalist church as a result of complaints made by members of the church in response to his dissemination of The Gadfly Papers at a Unitarian Universalist Alliance in Spokane in 2019. We discuss his claims the UUA has succumb to safteyism and PC culture in a way that undermines the core UU principles of questioning orthodoxy. We also discuss his suggestion that a "divorce" between Unitarians and Universalists might be necessary.
