The bells of freedom are ringing, How are they calling you to serve its highest promises? How are they calling you to be in community?

O beautiful for halcyon skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the enameled plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, Till souls wax fair as earth and air And music-hearted sea! –Katherine Lee Bates

May we live while we are alive, for life is brief in its days, and even though thus shadowed with loss, life can also be beautiful.

We speak their names that we have not forgotten, and in honor of their service. And to all those here remembering, may Life bless us in our going out and our coming in, in our grief and in our joy, in our remembering and in our forgetting.

We invite you to share the names of your beloved ones: fallen comrades, grandparents, parents, children, siblings, spouses and partners, mentors and friends. #weremember #memorialdayweekend2020

In honor of those who have given their lives for our freedom. In recognition of the gifts and sacrifices they have made on our behalf, And in our sincere hopes that we may be worthy of their memory, We give thanks and light our chalice.

@UUA is advising Unitarian Universalist Congregations not to gather until May of 2021. I miss the fellowship, but I would rather know I will see people a year from now, than not ever see them again cuz they are dead. https://twitter.com/MplsMe/status/1264554999625003008 …

lmao like I give a damn what a unitarian universalist thinks

I grew up Catholic. I didn't even know homosexuality existed until college... and I went to a Catholic University, too! Now I'm a liberal Unitarian Universalist who fights for the rights of the oppressed.

The only church service I tried attending after leaving Mormonism was at a Unitarian Universalist church. It was a very different experience from what I was used to. Almost like taking a class on religion instead of being in one? Nice people, but I never went back.

The President of the Unitarian Universalist Association, @sfrederickgray, was just mentioned on MSNBC for the Association's guidance on virtual worship until May 2021.

Sorry for being raised Unitarian/universalist

Do you think this is the kind of values a Unitarian Universalist should espouse, relishing the illness of another human being?

I'm a Unitarian Universalist. Our reverend told us it will probably be a year before we have in person services again. We have a lot of elders in our congregation and it would be too risky for them otherwise. For now, our service is online.

I'm sorry people are such assholes while hiding behind "Christianity". In my experience, the most accepting kinds of congregations I've seen at the present time are United Methodist and Unitarian Universalist ones. It's not our place to judge other people, but to love.

I’m a Unitarian Universalist so I’m ruled by all religions and governments it’s called relative progressive globalism. You keep bringing up words like “hodgepodge” to make it seem like you don’t have brain damage when you so obviously do. I can tell since you avoid my questions

Also, I wasn’t sure if you were one of my Unitarian Universalist followers or not, so context: the 5th principle of UUism is “a free and responsible search for truth and meaning.” We can search wherever we feel called, but have a moral obligation to do it responsibly.

Create with ritual and reverence. Create to liberate yourself, create to heal yourself. Create to talk to your ancestors and to nourish your future.

Find the moments in your life where you are already creating and start doing them more intentionally. Just like Maxie from our story. Make tea. Make a meal. Make a painting at your kitchen table.
