“We adapt to the changing world.”
-from the value, “Transformation” in the proposed new language for UUA Article 2
How has your faith adapted to changes around you?
Transformation
Transformation is hard work, but our Unitarian Universalist faith holds that it is within our power as humans. We can transform ourselves. We can transform our community. We can transform society.
What are transformations you have undergone in your life?
Making Room
Today our Western Christian beloved celebrate Easter Sunday.
To many, the Christian Easter story of the resurrection of Christ is hard to believe or find meaning in. It is made more difficult by the fact that it is embraced by many people whose faith does not call them to embrace a society in which diversity of belief is a wonderful thing. And yet, our dedication to pluralism in theology challenges us this day to make room.
How have you had to make room in your life or belief system for ideas that challenge you or make you bristle?
Language of Love
“At times, our voices clash. We disagree. Tension enters our voices as we make room for different beliefs, different opinions, different perspectives. Through it all, it’s our intention that we speak the language of love.”-Erika Hewitt, from the reading, “We Speak the Language of Love”
How do you find the language of love in times when tension over disagreement is present?
Mourning
On this day when Western Christians honor Good Friday, our thoughts on pluralism turn to the many ways that we honor and mourn those who have died.
What are your rituals and practices of mourning and grief?
