Abolition begins with a question. What if the systems we have inherited—systems of punishment, incarceration, and exclusion—are not the only way? In this reflection, we explore how curiosity can become a spiritual practice: the courage to ask how harm might be addressed through healing rather than punishment, how safety might grow through connection rather than control, how community grows in accountable relationship. Rooted in Unitarian Universalist values of transformation and justice, this sermon invites us to approach abolition not simply as a political idea, but as a faithful curiosity about what more humane possibilities might be waiting for us to imagine together.
