Thanks to Rev. Catie Scudera (@UUNeedham ) and all faith leaders calling for climate justice! Grateful for your moral leadership, voice, and care as we face this crisis together. https://twitter.com/350Mass/status/1056936554403381254 …
Our capacity to create change is dependent on our relationships. We are in this together. Sending you love and light this morning.
Coming together gives us strength. Conversation grounds our actions in understanding. Relationship empowers and accelerates our progress. When in doubt or overcome with fear, we must turn to each other. Not out of weakness, but as a strategic necessity.
To my community, interfaith friends, and partners in justice. I woke today grateful for each of you! Grateful for your acts of love, courage, and solidarity. Though the challenges we face may feel insurmountable, remember that connection is a catalyst.
Different congregations, different cultures. No one answer and approach of musician (collaborative) is key. Important music is focused on advancing the ministry, not pulling focus to musician.

Going live on the hour in the @UUPLANET Facebook group to talk about tweaking UU website language to be more welcoming. UU leaders, join us live at https://www.facebook.com/groups/uuplanet/ …
If treating concerts like church is killing classical music, what about treating worship organ postludes like a concert? Many congregations have people remain seated for the postlude. What do you think of this practice? https://twitter.com/Philocrites/status/1055467017212444672 …
I am not a fan of sitting for the postludes. In my home congregation, I grew up with an amazing organist who played carnival-like postludes. The organ music and our accompanying movement as we headed to the coffee hour was energizing. It wasn't a concert, it was transition music.

I’d encourage you to adjust engagement with toxic Twitter, but don’t be silenced. Not if you feel called to share your voice. Can get news elsewhere, turn off all notifications, use Hootsuite or other tool to post tweets to create a little buffer.
@lynnmg beautiful Star photo in your header image. I love Star Island.
Here's an animated intro about Unitarian Universalists and our congregations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3UYWnngiEo …
Going to a worship service isn't the best first step for everyone. Some people like going to a movie night, a class, lecture or event where they can see what we're about and talk with others around a common subject, like immigration reform or mindful parenting.

I wa being a little cheeky here. Of course there are exceptions. I share this to encourage our leaders to be very intentional if going over scheduled length. Too often services are long by accident, not design with overtime undermining their message. https://twitter.com/uuplanet/status/1053020195009306626 …
A great exception: We often have Coming of Age services that are 1.5 hours long with time announced in advance. Again, I’m talking general rule of thumb to avoid unnecessarily increasing newcomer / guest bounce rates.
I understand your point, and I’m intentionally being a little cheeky. You can design a great service that is longer. But generally, I don’t see our congregations using time over 60 minutes effectively. Doesn’t mean it can’t be done with intention.
Top LIKED moment in this session? A good rule of thumb: The only time a worship service should go over an hour is if someone is being ordained or someone has died. Most services going over an hour are suffering from a lack of editing. (Thinking of you @TimGunn!)pic.twitter.com/5q6DBEJNsO
