Friday’s #ClimateStike was the largest climate action ever! How is your UU congregation answering the urgent call for climate action issued by our children and youth around the world? #UUSunday #UUTwitter @UUClimateAction https://twitter.com/earth3r/status/1106950011848478727 …
This #UUSunday I’m reading @JimAntal’s book Climate Church, Climate World. I’m committed to helping our congregations lead on climate. I believe, as I hope you do, that we have a moral responsibility to respond to this crisis. Delayed action threatens all we hold dear.pic.twitter.com/zkN0Gos3gt
Happy Sunday! Unitarian Universalists and friends, what’s happening in your UU congregation today? Tweet with hashtag #UUSunday
and hashtags related to the themes you are addressing. For example: #climatechange #climatestrike #ImmigrationReform #GunViolencepic.twitter.com/7Gp6TzMldc
I don’t know who is behind this account or what their plan is, but it is UU + resistance so of course I’m curious... Welcome to Twitter @UUResistance! https://twitter.com/uuresistance/status/1107034878795747334 …
The moral leadership of faith leaders and their congregations across denominations is critical. https://twitter.com/climatereality/status/1106652820290203648 …
Unitarian Universalists participating in #ClimateStrike Friday, tag your tweets with @UUClimateAction so we can retweet! You can tag @UUClimateAction in a photo after you add it to the tweet.pic.twitter.com/t8Htt8fx3N
Well that’s depressing. But I do like the idea of a pulpit with buttons you can press! Let’s see, one to activate the disco ball, one button to mute all other mics 
, one to activate holographic interactive Earth 
to show climate scenarios...
Happy Sunday! What’s happening in your UU congregation / life today? Tweet with one or more of these hashtags: #UUSunday #UUTwitter #SundayMorning + tag for theme of service or content you’re tweeting about.pic.twitter.com/K66Ax9H8hY
Thank you. I missed it when you released it. Going to watch now.
Yes, UU alone gets used for all sorts of things! I think we should make it a larger question, bring it to those who have been using the UUSunday hashtag, weaving in some social media strategy / education. But I need to do that for NEXT Sunday.
Do you like UUSunday? What do you think? The SundayMorning tag trends every week so I wonder if doing UUTwitter + SundayMorning is better for visibility.
Here’s the #UULent challenge some Unitarian Universalists are tweeting about. https://twitter.com/uuxmnr/status/1103206422135930880 …
What happens on the solstice? Does the blue light arrive at a specific mark in the room? That would make for a great video...

We did it Thank you for your tweets, calls, and other actions demanding justice in @NoMoreDeaths case — humanitarian relief efforts are not a crime! Sickening that it was ever a question here in the United States. https://twitter.com/UUSC/status/1102602729401266178 …
I thought we’d experiment. I’ve been seeing a trend for #UUTwitter being used during the week. Then if people click on a Sunday #uutwitter tweet they discover all the other goods. Was split second decision as I filmed in field of blinding snow. 
PROTIP: To get more people to see your tweets today, add hashtag #SundayMorning and any hashtags related to your topic theme.
Happy Sunday! I just blew up 12 - 13 beach balls

Young people are demanding action, going on strike from school. There is a global day of action scheduled for March 15th. Any UUs striking tag me in photos so I can retweet.

Thanks for sharing. I’ll check it out! Might be good to have playlist of congregational videos too.
Great idea. Good to include docs. Raw Faith featuring @marilynsewell - check!
What’s your favorite video about Unitarian Universalism? Im looking for great videos for newcomers, including sermons, to update this playlist. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL489B927BB0C4BF9A … Reply with YouTube URL and WHY you like it. Thanks!
Unitarian Universalists, are you protesting Monday? Tag photos of UUs in action with @uuplanet so I can find your tweets and retweet: Protests planned across US on Presidents Day in response to Trump's national emergency for border wall https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/430365-protests-planned-across-us-on-presidents-day-in-response-to …
One of my top sources of information is sea level rise expert @johnenglander. He is also a Unitarian Universalist. We had coffee a number of years ago when he came through Boston for an event. I highly recommend his book High Tide on Main Street https://amzn.to/2BxDGr8
Tomorrow is my next #LeadingCongregations monthy training. This session is focused on updating our Facebok strategy in response to massive algorithm changes over the last year.

Yeah. I’m all salt and pepper and have a 10 year old now!
Not to say this video isn’t good. We just need fresh content as this was made in a 4:3 lower resolution pre-social media world. And to all still using / watching it, I’m glad it is helpful.
Oh, I think I need to make some new videos about Unitarian Universalism. This video was made in 2007! Interesting to think about how best to educate given evolution of social media since then. https://twitter.com/uuhamilton/status/1095364308597391361 …
Snow day! 
Yes, stats are old but the stories still apply. Thanks for sharing.
Great question. I think we need to do more to pull the action items out of the larger resources. Give me every action in a tweet with a link to its source!
UUs taking action to address climate change — what’s your favorite source for clear specific action items? Top books, articles, websites with lists you’d recommend? @UUMFE @UUA @UUSC https://twitter.com/revdrmeg/status/1095057480403496960 …

Grateful for opportunity to spend yesterday with UU leaders from across New England. I led training focused on welcoming digitally oriented people into the lives and hearts of our congregations. We had leaders from Maine to Connecticut! A great day at @UUNeedham.

Thanks to all of you who retweeted PR for my training this Saturday. Registration is CLOSED and all reserve seats are GONE for this UU Social Media and Membership Growth training. Later in February I expect to be rolling out an updated online version of this training.
Join me in welcoming our @UUSpokane congregation to Twitter!
Agreed! More examples would be helpful. I’m starting to identify leaders to interview.
Thinking about what @billmckibben said last time I bumped into him in Cambridge on the need for UUs to offer moral leadership and get us where we need to go. That was a while ago. How do you think we're doing in terms of moral leadership on climate as a movement?pic.twitter.com/eLP1tzrAWM

Been working on this. I turn my phone off while working on AM projects. I assume people who need to talk to me have an appointment or can leave a message. Once family is home, I try to turn it off. When I'm meeting with others, airplane mode. A spiritual discipline for sure!
New video from my friend and colleague @revnaomi on spirituality and being intentional with digital devices. What kind of boundaries do you set with your devices? I'll share mine in a reply. https://twitter.com/revnaomi/status/1089161225903185921 …
