The “Spirit of Life” hymn echoes with the words roots hold me close; wings set me free, reminding us of our faith’s living tradition. Unitarian Universalists treasure the stories and wisdom given by our spiritual ancestors, and we also embrace new learning. We celebrate the diversity that enriches our faith and strive to deepen our understanding through continuous growth and expansion of our wisdom.

Side Effects May Include Liberation
Elias Poore, Assistant Minister
Warning: Healing may cause discomfort, unexpected changes in perspective, a decreased tolerance for injustice, and a sudden urge to question everything.
We’re told that healing means getting back to normal. But what if normal was making us sick in the first place? As the dust settles on another election, we’ll ask what it really means to get well in a world that isn’t—and why genuine healing might be a lot more disruptive, dangerous to the status quo, and liberating than we bargained for.
Justice: Faith in Action
Ours is a faith that seeks and does justice. That work is, as the Rev. Dr. Rebecca Parker says, a “striving for what is not yet but could be.”
A church doing justice work differs from the way other organizations or institutions do justice work in its grounding, framing, and motivation. In what guides us as we do the work. In what we return to when threatened by discouragement or violence. If we want to go the distance, then we must have a firm footing to live from, not just morally or intellectually or ethically, but spiritually.
