The Construction of Peace
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “There can be no peace in the world unless there’s justice, and there can be no justice without peace.” In other words, to construct a peaceful world, we must work toward a just world. Peace is not the absence of conflict: it is the presence of justice.

Being Comfortable with Discomfort
Some of us grew up comfortable. Some of us didn’t. Some of us have been comfortable our whole lives. Some of us haven’t. Today, we explore noticing when we’re uncomfortable and why–and what that has to do with spiritual growth.

Today, we learn and celebrate about the … Continue reading Did You Know? About Unitarian Universalism
