Re-gather the large group. Share this quote from Schulz:

We Unitarian Universalists believe that the future is not set, that History is not determined, that destiny is not fated. We believe that human beings create history and can change it if we will. But we also know that the tools with which we have to work-the measure of our energy, the degree of our intelligence, the allurement of the sun-are outside our control, are gifts of an abundant grace. Will and grace go hand in hand; justice and grace are inseparable. ("On Trying to be a Non-Anxious Presence")

Ask participants to think of an experience in their lives as Unitarian Universalists that leads them to affirm, amend, or refute Schulz's claim. Allow a minute for them to find their story. Then invite each person in turn, as they are willing, to share their experience with the larger group.
