Fireside Worship This Sunday, January 14, 2024: “Side With Love” Rev. María Uitti McCabe
From Rev. María:
You’re invited to “Side with Love in 2024”
As Unitarian Universalists we are drawn to the work of justice in the world. 200 years ago, our religious ancestors were starting schools in their neighborhoods to teach children how to read. In the 19th century, they were chaplains on the killing fields of the Civil War, sanitation engineers to improve living conditions in US cities, creating the Red Cross and advocating for the rights of women and enslaved people.
Today’s world calls us as vehemently as ever, and the work remains difficult and often discouraging. Speaking for myself, I feel disheartened and angry about the loss of reproductive freedoms, the persecution of Latinx immigrants, the persistent poison of systemic racism, the pillaging of the planet and the fragility of the world’s democracies.
Our Association’s “Side with Love” campaigns exist to connect us with one another, make change in our communities and sustain us with spiritual practices along the way. We will explore this together on Sunday when we meet for worship. But in the meantime, watch the video below and perhaps even explore the “Side with Love” website: https://sidewithlove.org
