  • In a living room, a Black woman wearing an African-print top blows out a match. On the Kwanzaa table in front of her, draped with Kente cloth in shades of gold, green, and red, are ears of corn and a kinara: a Kwanzaa candle holder with three red taper candles, three green, and one black candle in the center, which is lit. There are gifts and gift bags propped around the table, and on the wall above the Kwanzaa table is a purple banner that says "Kwanzaa" under a stylized kinara with seven lit candles.
    I’ve never lived a year of my life without Kwanzaa. The Nguzo Saba, Kwanzaa’s 7 principles, still help me.

  • From behind, seen from shoulders to knee, three Sámi women wearing traditional clothing: cornflower blue dresses with a red ruffle at the bottom, and fringed shawls in shades of light blue and bright yellow-gold, with white and red accents.
    As part of my observance of Yule and Christmas, I honour my female ancestors.

  • A trail through a redwood forest. The trees take up most of the image. There is a path through the trees, wet with recent rain, with ferns on either side. In the center of the photo, dwarfed by the trees, there is a man holding up a small camera or phone to take a picture.

  • In a living room with a lit Christmas tree and gifts, a woman sits with closed eyes, slumped, with her hand on her forehead as if she's disappointed or frustrated.

  • Prehistoric stenciled outlines of many overlapping hands on a cave wall at Cueva de las Manos, Argentina. Some hands appear in ochre on pale rock, and others are white against darker rock.
    We sang, we loved, we gazed up at the mysterious stars. We tried to understand what had created us, why we were here, why we suffered and how to keep what was precious.

  • A wooden crate holding vegetables like carrots, peppers, and leeks is carried between two people: each person is holding one handle, outdoors, as they walk through a field or garden.

  • Two parents on a hammock with their two children. One parent is kissing the head of the other parent, while they all embrace each other and smile
    In Spring 2025, the UUA Wave Cohort called “Caring for Parents as Whole Beings” gathered UUs who are parents currently raising children to learn more about the challenges their families face and what kinds of support they want from their congregations. This is a report from the conveners.

  • A lecturer with graying hair speaks at a lectern, holding a page of notes, his back to the camera. In the background, blurred, is a bank of seats filled with audience members.

  • A table covered with a red tablecloth and a purple tablecloth. The front is labeled with the word PRIDE, with each letter handwritten on a separate piece of letter paper. On the center of the table is a clear box filled with large serving spoons. The rest of the table is completely covered by many loose spoons. Among the spoons are many handwritten signs labeled with types of disabilities: “cognitive,” “developmental,” “sensory,” “hidden,” and so on.
    This two-part ritual, inspired by the disability justice concept of spoon theory, includes a litany of things that can “take spoons away” from people. Part of the WorshipWeb collection “Worth and Dignity of All Bodies.”

  • Indoors, in front of a sunny window and amid houseplants, a light-skinned Black person wearing glasses sits cross-legged, eyes closed, as if meditating.

  • Sitting on a couch, with only their torso and upper legs visible, a dark-skinned person wearing jeans and an olive T-shirt leans forward with their elbows on their knees. In one hand they dangle a military dog tag, and a similar tag is visible hanging from their neck outside of their T-shirt.
    As citizens of this democratic nation, we’re all complicit in its wars and conflicts.

  • An woman wearing an olive T-shirt and camo pants, suggesting a military veteran, leans forward in her chair, hands together, towards a counselor who's seated with a clipboard of notes on her lap.
