The “Spirit of Life” hymn echoes with the words roots hold me close; wings set me free, reminding us of our faith’s living tradition. Unitarian Universalists treasure the stories and wisdom given by our spiritual ancestors, and we also embrace new learning. We celebrate the diversity that enriches our faith and strive to deepen our understanding through continuous growth and expansion of our wisdom.

And Then What Happened?
Rev. Jen Youngsun Ryu
Anthony de Mello once said that stories are the “currency of human contact.” Others have repeated this sentiment, highlighting the importance of storytelling in our personal lives as well as in our communal connections.

Justice: Faith in Action
Ours is a faith that seeks and does justice. That work is, as the Rev. Dr. Rebecca Parker says, a “striving for what is not yet but could be.”
A church doing justice work differs from the way other organizations or institutions do justice work in its grounding, framing, and motivation. In what guides us as we do the work. In what we return to when threatened by discouragement or violence. If we want to go the distance, then we must have a firm footing to live from, not just morally or intellectually or ethically, but spiritually.
Get involved with Environmental Justice, Economic Justice, Legislative Action, and Racial Justice today!
