  • Black and white photo of only the arms of dark-skinned people, raised as if praying in a church pew

    When someone lists Unitarians or Universalists, they usually name white men. Never anyone Black like me.

  • Outdoors on a lawn, a group of Black friends are seated as if at a picnic. They're smiling and laughing with abundant joy.

    If you’re seeking sacred Black “text” in our tradition, you have to examine the way our Black ancestors lived.

  • A UU chalice made of bronze metal with large rings and a small white lighted candle in the center. Next to the chalice is a large brown bowl filled with sand with twelve thin white lighted candlesticks. Both the chalice and bowl of candles are on a small wooden table in front of a wooden lectern that is partially visible on the altar of the congregation, with a black grand piano.

    Despite the bright, twinkling lights and the chiming bells, some of us are full of grief, fear, and pain. We believe there should be a time to honor these feelings as well.
