I started out in Unitarian Universalist Ministry believing that the groundwork for justice had been done. I believed that Dr King and the civil rights legislation of the 1960’s had secured the future for the American people. Well, it is time to take the rose colored glasses off. Join us as we take a look at the progress our nation has made and a closer look at where we have missed the opportunities to change ourselves, our congregations and maybe this nation of ours.

As Unitarian Universalists, we see our justice work as living out our values into the world. We covenant that "service is our prayer." What might it look like to create a justice spiritual practice?

In sermons and newsletters we often see references to our Unitarian Universalist "faith tradition” and some UU’s end their letters and emails with the words “In faith.” But faith in what?
