Courage

To extend an invitation to someone else takes courage. After all, what if a person rejects your invitation? I once knew a person who was a member of a barbershop quartet for several years. Although being UU was a big part of his life, he seldom talked about it with others. Eventually, he ran into a fellow quartet member at a UU event and they learned they share this major value! Then, a third member of the group asked what UU was. After learning more, he lamented, “I wish I had known about UUism years ago. I think I would really enjoy it!”

How do you muster the courage to extend an invitation?
