Description
Welcome to "Kiitsu—Returning-to-One" the podcast formally known as "Making Footprints Not Blueprints." My name is Andrew James Brown, and I’m the Minister of the Unitarian Church in Cambridge, UK.
Knowing that full scope always eludes our grasp, that there is no finality of vision, that we have perceived nothing completely, and that, therefore, tomorrow a new walk is a new walk, I hope that, on occasion, you’ll find here some helpful expressions of a creative, inquiring, free and liberative religion and spirituality that will help and encourage you to journey through life, making footprints rather than blueprints.
