Description of Activity
Invite participants to wear name tags. Gather the group in a circle.
Say, in your own words:
Today we are going to go a little deeper into what it means to do interfaith work as a Unitarian Universalist.
Ask a participant to light the chalice. Invite participants to find "A Litany of Restoration," Reading 576 in Singing the Living Tradition. Have volunteers take turns reading the regular text and the group respond with the italic text. Remind the participants they are free to pass if they do not wish to read.
