Growing up Unitarian Universalist was similar. One of our Sunday School classes was called “Religion Without Walls” & was taught by an old hippie who taught us how to tap sugar maple trees for syrup & encouraged us to find our own sacred spot somewhere on the church’s campus.

Yeah, I work at a Unitarian Universalist church that is progressive, inclusive not a Christian church by any stretch (includes atheists, non-theists, lots that hindu, pagan, etc) They are science-oriented, and members are in deep community during COVID (remote programs/chats).
As many celebrate the unofficial start of summer, let us not forget those who gave their lives serving our country. May we hold their families and friends in our hearts today and always.

"Disarm! Disarm! The sword of murder is not the balance of justice!". –Julia Ward Howe
The Battle Hymn of the Republic was written by poet, abolitionist, suffragist, and Unitarian foremother Julia Ward Howe in November 1861
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.

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