  • I believe that my name is on an ancestor's lips—that even now, someone who has gone before is praying for me and on my behalf.

  • 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.
    Drink Earth’s declaration of love with snowmelt, droplet and tide.…

  • Closeup of the flower of an Iceland poppy against a black background. The four petals are deep orange and textured with gentle radial striations, and the stamens are bright yellow.
    In this circle, we honor the courage it takes to live openly, the softness that sustains us, and the joy and power that grow when we gather.

  • Seen from below, a flock of pigeons flies from the lower left to the upper right of the frame, against the white and pale blue background of a cloudy sky.

  • An abstract photo showing reflections of orange and blue light in small droplets of water, giving the impression of fire and water combined.
    Fire lifts us up and invigorates us with purpose, while Water helps us settle down into being.

  • A whole mini carrot cake centered on a small white plate, all sitting on a black countertop with white speckles. The cake has nuts around the outside, white icing on top, and a marzipan carrot embedded in the icing.
    We don’t try to be the perfect thing for everyone, all the time, because that’s impossible. Instead, we try to be who we are: Unitarian Universalists, who put love at the center of all we do.

  • 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.
    Help me feel the calm in the storm—even the ones of my own making.

  • 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.

  • A white woman with long reddish-brown hair holds an iPhone up to her face with two hands, perhaps taking a photo. The phone blocks most of her face from view, except for the corners of her sunglasses. Behind her, blurry, we see a mostly empty street or plaza.
    A call to worship is secretly a call to focus our attention. Choosing to focus our attention is countercultural.

  • A low-angle shot of a wet gutter and curb in a city at nighttime. We see the colorful, out-of-focus lights of cars, traffic light, and building windows, as well as their reflections on the damp ground.
    The sacred does not hide from the world—it lives in it.

  • 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.
    Whether they walk, shuffle, or wheel themselves into my life, every person I interact with matters.

  • 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.
    I have a right to feel scared and hurt, and angry. Yet I refuse to let hate calcify my heart.
