UU Leaders - Still considering joining Video Ministry Academy? Registration closes Monday at midnight. Here's a video invitation with program details, my background, how it works.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTMGxvt2mxc …

Our Unitarian Universalist Association has recommended churches continue online services through Spring 2021. Rough for some who rely on gatherings for in-person community, but obviously necessary.

Gonzo is a Unitarian Universalist. I will offer no further explanation. https://twitter.com/TheRaDR/status/1263653502649348096 …

Bunsen Honeydew is a Unitarian Universalist.

Miss Piggy is culturally Jewish, with Unitarian Universalist and tantric yoga leanings

Have we determined that Janice is a Unitarian Universalist? She seems very Free to be, You and me, and I like that. Fer sure.

Gonzo is Unitarian Universalist. And vegan.

I was raised Unitarian Universalist so when the dad from 7th Heaven prayed out loud, I had no idea who he was talking to.

I'm a Unitarian Universalist Pagan in the simplest terms I have. I've come to be really fond of Jesus as I read him in the Bible and as understood by a variety of marginalized folks. I'm also just sort of...a generalized mystic.

Unitarian Universalist sermons are neat and def help me think about shit a lot more positively but it still makes me kinda cringe when they mention God. Dunno if any of the hippy/cosmos Unitarians have anything up for streams but it’d be neat to look into. pic.twitter.com/CLYSkQ0rTk

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.

Each week my home congregation, the First Unitarian Church of Providence, tolls the bell for each #COVID19 death in the state of RI. Today it was 88. Gets me every time. https://www.facebook.com/285189762181/videos/239885173963529 …pic.twitter.com/PFvGAMzeoA

First Parish Church, a Unitarian Universalist congregation on Meetinghouse Hill, has no immediate plans to resume in-person worship, according to interim minister Rev. Terry Sweetser, who calls doing so "undoubtedly and unnecessarily dangerous to self, family and neighbor."

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.

We stream from Zoom to YouTube. Then we open up the Zoom after the service is over. Biggest problem is getting YouTube to stop streaming.

I feel like we should try that so more people get to talk. Glad it’s working for you!

Well considering I am a Unitarian Universalist social justice advocate, that pretty much nails it.

Unitarian Universalist Fellowships/Churches often have subgroups that focus on that path, if you prefer a more in-person introduction.

Yes! Always great to have a chance to talk to someone new, often a face that's familiar, but you never really got to know. It's easy to get in the habit of gravitating towards people we already know, so it's nice to have that extra push to talk to strangers!

I have a friend who is a Unitarian Universalist minister and he said the organization is recommending that all churches remain virtual until May 2021.

We are loving our “random” breakout groups! Many of us feel that there are too many “silos” or “clicks”.... Random groups have allowed us to talk to people that we may not normally hang out with (there is the option to come back to the centre and be reassigned) #inclusion

Unitarian Universalist Church is a comfortable place for atheists & secular Humanists. Also LGBTQ. I belong to all 4 of the above. The mix has worked exceptionally well for 29 years.

We are in Canada, and we also use Youtube for the services. We have a coffee hour in Zoom.

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.

We do a broadcast on YouTube, but there's no "virtual coffee hour" opportunity for congregants to really engage with one another. This week we planned a congregational conversation, so the timing for us is especially bad!

How can our everyday actions be a threshold to the sacred and the holy? Now that many of us are living with everyday domesticity, let’s explore the ways we connect with each other and with the Divine in the simple tasks of daily life.

All my UU Zoomers, how are you doing? Catastrophic @zoom_us failure here in Boston both on Zoom Webinar and Zoom Meeting. If you do live Zoom services, what’s your backup?

The Trump administration has been clearly anti-immigrant from the start, and they are using the #COVID19 crisis to further their xenophobic agenda. We must stay vigilant to these attacks on #HumanRights.https://www.uusc.org/trump-takes-advantage-of-the-covid-19-crisis-to-further-his-anti-immigrant-agenda/ …

No lie: Unitarian Universalist church has been advised to not meet until 2021. Maybe some will check out live streamed services and get saved!

What is a #UnitarianUniversalist #theology of #hatred? I don't like to go to bed angry, but it's now officially Sunday and I have to get up early to finish service prep. I look forward to responses tomorrow. Hopefully feeling less angry; not sure about the hatred, though.
