In uncertain times, practicing generosity and faith can feel like a risk. How do we invest in a future we cannot yet see? How do we sustain hope when the world feels fragile?
As we navigate current events that keep us feeling topsy turvy at best and threatened at worst, we must figure out together what matters now. Let us center down and look for a road map toward liberation as we discern what matters, right now.
Douglass was ecumenical in his church attendance. While not a Unitarian he frequented our pulpits and pews, worked with Unitarian ministers and laity alike, and inspired many. Today, when we are in need of such inspiration, what does he have to say to us.
Our religious ancestors got it right, each and every one of us is a child of god, blessed from birth with the potential to bless the world. That was Good News back then and it is still Good News today. The question has always been what a faith grounded in love means in the real lives we live each day.
The Beloved Community calls us to inclusion and a deeper, faith-rooted moral imperative to build a society where everyone is valued and everyone can thrive. Adam will discuss this moral vision for the future of the United States and how sacred texts like Isaiah 58 and the South African concept of ubuntu can help us understand what building the Beloved Community really means.
