You’ve seen it. Two black men pass each other on the street. They nod. Subtle, sometimes imperceptible, but there is acknowledgement. “Do you know him?” “No . . . (yes) . . . no.” I learned this from my father and my grandfather and my other grandfather and my uncles and my great uncle and...Reading | By Adam Lawrence Dyer | May 17, 2016 | From WorshipWebTagged as: #BlackLivesMatter, 1st Principle (Worth & Dignity), 2nd Principle (Justice, Equity, & Compassion), America, Anti-Oppression, Connections, Direct Experience, Identity, Race/Ethnicity, Secular, Solidarity, UnityWorship element -

Orange County had an excellent religious education program and a vibrant youth group. Some of my best friends were people I met at cons. I married my wife at the summer camp where we met.

The word desire comes from the Latin desiderare: “to long for,” but the Latin desiderare comes from de sidere: “from the stars.” From the stars. I find this extraordinary: to think that somehow our desire, our longing, is connected to the very stars in the sky. The stars, which share their...Reading | By Laura Horton-Ludwig | April 8, 2016 | From WorshipWebTagged as: 7th Principle (Interconnected Web), Connections, Intimacy, Love, Mystery, Prophetic Words & Deeds, Sexuality, WonderWorship element -
The religious mystics of every tradition tell us union is what we are here for — union is what we are: we are connected to each other, to the earth, to everything that exists, and to the force that lies beyond it all—only most of the time we don’t realize it.

One of the potential spiritual lessons of sports comes in its ability to connect people—to each other as well as to a team of strangers.

Small But Mighty The set up was in some ways completely familiar. The cushions on the floor, the snacks arranged casually around the yet unlit chalice. Students drifting in and sitting down, late evening on a weekday. I could have been in the basement of the chapel back at my small Midwestern...By Annie Gonzalez Milliken | March 24, 2016 | From On CampusTagged as: Beliefs & Principles, Campus Ministry, Community, Connections, Education, Faith, Faith Development, Growth, Identity, LGBTQ Issues, Meaning, Personal Inspiration, Rights, Secular, Teaching Methods, Unitarian Universalism, UU Identity, Worship, Young Adult Faith Development (ages 18-35)Page/Article -
May I move gently through this cloudy, murky, gray day. May I remember that this is just one day, and that showing up is at least half of what is asked of me.
