Why “Red Pill?” Why “Brethren?”

Who Are the Red Pill Brethren?

The Red Pill Brethren are Unitarian Universalists who each had a pivotal “red pill” moment when they had to choose between continuing to see church as most of the rest of society sees it, or see it as the mission-centered force it can be.

They chose the red pill and the humbling task of envisioning church not as something you invite people to, but something that is sent out to serve the world, being missionaries in what often feels like a foreign culture.

They are fellow members of this passion; they are kin in the Missio Dei.

Were they to meet, as the joke says, at the sign in heaven that says, “Heaven, Hell, or Discussion of Heaven or Hell,” they would all head for the same place:

Hell.

To help bring others out.
