  • 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.
    Just as you and I are more than our suffering, so too is each veteran more than their suffering.

  • From behind, from the neck down, a military service member is shown wearing camouflage holds his rucksack in front of a house's doorstep. An American flag hangs next to the front door.
    My Universalist theology guides me to remind our veterans that they are not defined by their worst moment or action.

  • In a hospital bed, a person wearing an oxygen mask gazes up at two nurses or physicians, who are wearing blue scrubs, masks, and hairnets.
    The most important person is the person in front of us, whether they’re a person we’re “supposed” to help, a friend, or a stranger.

  • The Unitarian Universalist Association raises a clear and prophetic voice for our liberal religious values and against the growing movement toward fascism in the US. Religious leadership is called to illuminate the ultimate values at stake in the play of current events.

  • A person with dark skin, wearing denim overalls, is partially seen kneeling on the floor. They are holding a long-handled paintbrush and dabbing yellow paint on a paint palette that rests on the floor, at the level of the camera. They appear to be in the middle of a painting in a studio.
    The freedom to seek, discover, and accept others’ truths is a sweet path to follow.

  • A group of twelve people standing in two rows in front of a stage. They are all wearing summer-time clothing and smiling for the camera.
    Finding balance between productivity and rest remains essential for offering nourishment in our gifts of religious leadership. To lead in these times takes enormous energy of body, mind, and spirit, and it is essential that we find experiences of joy and rest in our lives so we do not burn out.

  • Two photos in wood frames are propped in front of a row of books. Both photos are in sepia tones, and obviously very old. The first photo, of Rev. Samuel Longfellow, is a close-up of a white man with short parted hair, a mustache, bushy beard, and a bow tie. The second photo, of Rev. Samuel Johnson, is set back slightly, showing a white man with longer dark hair, and a longer beard. He is wearing a suit and bow tie, as well, and his name appears in calligraphy under the portrait.
    The love that brought The Sams into partnership ripples outward from their lives.

  • In the foreground, a small candle is lit inside of a glass jar. It's setting on the back of a wooden church pew, in the dark. In the background, the chancel of the sanctuary is visible, an altar filled with lit candles, and strings of white lights draped across the vaulted ceiling. It's a cozy vibe.
    “The Sams,” as they were known in Transcendentalist circles, revised time-worn lyrics to move beyond dogma and creed.

  • A dark field with faint glimmers from candles in the distance, and one wax candle, close up, in the foreground, lit with a steady flame.
    Adults, as well as children, become afraid in the dark. The night awakens imagination, which can play with our knowledge of the world’s real dangers.

  • From behind, a dark-skinned person wearing jeans and a hoodie holds the hand of a small child. They're standing on a beach, looking at the waves. Next to them, a looming metal border wall, with one tarnished panel, stretches far into the ocean.
    It is a profoundly simple thing to put love at the center.
