Our love for one another and for the wider world is the beacon that has always guided this band of beloveds in the the mighty and improbable work of bending the very arc of history. -Rev. Manish-Mishra Mirzetti #UUAGA #UUAGA23
In a moment when we are deciding our legacy and our responsibility in the family of things, our impact depends on our willingness to transform.
May we make history anew on the wings of compassion, justice and hope.
For the leaders of our faith, for the investors of our resources, for the representatives of our congregations.
We pray for bravery in the face of misinformation, manipulation and fear. #UUAGA #UUAGA23 #Divestment #DivestFromFossilFuels
You picked a fight with our generation, does it weigh on you at all? #UUAGA #UUAGA23 #Divestment #DivestFromFossilFuels
Our individual faith stories are important, but that is not what UU is. If you want to be on your own spiritual journey, why do you need other people for that? We need relationships and covenant. #UUAGA #UUAGA23
Because 'Unitarian Universalism' are big words people think that what we do is really complicated. It's not. Religious Educators are explaining this to four year olds and they get it. It's adults that make it complicated. #UUAGA #UUAGA23
There is a misconception that UUs can believe whatever we want. No. We are here to center love liberation and community care. #UUAGA #UUAGA23
Do we want to support our youth, or do we want to be an elder community center? #UUAGA #UUAGA23
We lose a lot of young adults when they age out of our youth programs because we don't offer 'play'. Adults also need play and creative options. #UUAGA #UUAGA23
Come-inners that joined UU have often grown up in a different theological tradition, they don't know our history. We need adult religious education. #UUAGA #UUAGA23
If what is happening in your sanctuary doesn't match what is happening with your youth religious education, you are doing it wrong. #UUAGA #UUAGA23
