"Word After A Word After A Word Is Power"
Sunday, April 3, 10:50 am, Worship Service Livestream
Poetry has the ability to awaken the mind with a single word or to give a gulp of water to the heart one didnโt know was thirsty. It can boldly tell undeniable truths to ourselves, and to Kings and Queens. It can make a crowd stir as well as call a profound silence in a filled auditorium. It is simple and complex, like each living being. Poetry is the language of Faithful Fools. Carmen Barsody and poets from the Tenderloin Community will lead us in a fool- hearted, poetic service in celebration of poetry month and their high holy month as Faithful Fools.

How does one deal when struggling with the principles, most specifically the first two?
I'm finding it hard to find worth and dignity in certain people...
I'm finding it hard to deal with certain people compassionately...
These certain people mean me and people close to me harm. I've got friends that are LGBTQ+ and I will defend them and their rights, using violence if necessary.
That doesn't sound too UU to me.
What do you do when you're confronted with certain people that go so far against your beliefs that you find it hard to feel any sort of worth in them?
Hello Everyone, I hope to start participating more often here. Part of why I want to be here is to share my monthly newsletter, The Sweet Potato, a roundup of UU young adult ministries. The April 2022 edition just came out. Anyone is welcome to read and sign up to get it, as we especially encourage older adults to share this resource with UU young adults in their lives. Thank you for reading.
Also this newsletter is part of the work of the Young Adult Revival Network - uuyarn.org

I'm going through a difficult time now and I'm praying as one of my ways of coping. My therapist once said in a landmark session that the body is connected to the Spirit, and I have experienced that.
In doing energy work and LoA stuff, I've also noticed that my body heats up whenever this happens. It's not extreme heat and I don't sweat, but I definitely feel hotter. Seems to happen when I'm doing any of the above.
I've had many spiritual experiences across varied traditions (Jhanna, experiences of Christ etc) but heat is constant.
Any wisdom on this would be appreciated!

"What's Going On?"
Sunday, March 27, 10:50 am, Worship Service Livestream
I want to talk about what I have been seeing and hearing the last week or two -- not about timeless and eternal questions but about what is going on around and within us all these days... at least my best guess, with a little input from my friends. It will be a time to sing, too light candles, to enjoy each other in coffee hour, to be still, to breathe. Just come, however, you are able to join in.

"The Question of Legacy"
Sunday, March 20, 10:50 am, Worship Service Livestream
I've been thinking a lot about legacy. Call it mid-life, call it an eternal itch we humans scratch and an eternal question with which we wrestle. It's a grounding question, a sobering one, sometimes an inspiring one, and maybe, maybe our answer changes as we go, as the path before us twists and opens. The question of legacy!

Or how does a UU church deal with members who choose not to get vaccinated?
Hi all,
I think the title of my post says it all. Basically I believe in the trinity and I believe in the divinity of Jesus, but I am universalist. Would I be totally at odds walking into a UU church with both the people and the sermons etc? Is it common to occasionally come across a UU member or even a pastor with these beliefs? I find my beliefs really don't fit into a theological bucket very well. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
