Rev. Marta Valentin May 6, 2012
The Unitarian Universalist Association meets each year in General Assembly to renew our vision and to allow our congregations to lead the business of our denomination. This year's meeting is being called "Justice GA" and will address questions about our nation's need for immigration reform. "Justice GA" is being touted as a paradigm-shiping, history-making, identity-defining event for Unitarian Universalists.
Really? If so, then perhaps Unitarian Universalism has an opportunity to be a religion of our time by creating an authentic sanctuary for all.

Some see divinity in the processes of the universe, in the creation and recreation that seem to infuse everything that lives. The Jesus story asks us to see creation even in things that die.

Tricksters of many religious traditions overturn everyday expectations. Jesus makes a triumphal entrance into Jerusalem, by tradition, and within a few days all things are overturned. Foolish play may set creation--and our imaginations--free.

The Ten Right Things are from the 2020 Vision All-Church Conference of 2011.
This Sunday—usually for our Minister a week for considering the relationships among the United States and other countries of the Americas—is unfilled due to our congregation’s financial need to ask our Minister to take a furlough week without pay. The service is led by our Board of Trustees.

What happens when a hero falls? What happens when we learn that the ones we admire are merely human (as we ourselves are!)? How do we restore hope in our hearts, and let all of us grow? (And how does an icon maker date an iconoclast?)

Because hope animates our living, the prospect of failing at some things does not stop us from trying. Indeed, if we want never to fail, we simply never have to attempt anything. But that’s not very fun, is it?!

It seems that evangelical and conservative congregations have the power to get many things done in the name of their faith--building enormous congregations and campuses, broadcasting on the airwaves and internet, funding student groups and even creating powerful political machines. Is there something they "have" that lets them accomplish so much?

Rev. Carlton Elliott Smith February 19, 2012
One of the familiar chants coming out of the Occupy movement has been "We are the 99 percent!" --- a rallying cry for the masses who feel victimized by the wealthiest one percent of the population. When we compare the anger many people feel about the rich getting richer to the Universalist ideas of inclusion that are part of our heritage, what do we as Unitarian Universalist say about wealth and its meaning, especially as it relates to church life in challenging times?

When Baltimoreans created our predecessor churches--First Independent and First Universalist--they were laying the groundwork for a faith entirely consistent with the democratic nation that was evolving on the North American continent. The powerful ideas of reason, optimism and religious tolerance energized their efforts, and may even give us a boost today.
