Instead of our planned regular worship service this Sunday, we will have a “Vigil for Democracy” in response to the events unfolding in Los Angeles and other parts of the country. This will be a time for readings, prayer, music, and sharing concerns about the future of democracy in America.
From UUA “Side With Love” campaign:
“Unitarian Universalism is not a tradition that turns away from the world’s pain. It is a living faith rooted in covenant and shaped by generations of activists and prophets—people who believed that revelation is ongoing, that every person carries a spark of the divine, and that “giving life the shape of justice” is the work of our hands and hearts. We do not affirm the worth and dignity of every person as a slogan—we live it as a mandate. Our theology insists that love must be embodied in systems, structures, and policies that protect and uplift. In the face of suffering and oppression, our faith responds with courage, not retreat.”
