Did you know: Hans Deutsch, an Austrian artist, first brought together the chalice and the flame as a #Unitarian symbol during his work with the Unitarian Service Committee during World War II. 1/3

In a time when fear and cruelty are being used as tools, this prayer names a deeper truth: we have endured before—and we rise again. “Seeking That Which Unites Us,” by Sara Eileen LaWall, is a reminder that resilience, unity, and love are sources of collective power.

Square graphic with a blurred, blue-toned background image that appears to show people gathered outdoors near a large building, possibly in a public demonstration or civic space. Over the image is a dark blue semi-transparent text box. At the top right, small black text reads “http://UUA.ORG .” At the top left is a quotation mark icon in muted green. Centered white text reads: “May we remember we are a people of resilience. We have faced uncertainty before. We have weathered storms. We have been consumed by flames. We have risen like the phoenix from the ashes. And we will again. We the people.” Below the quote, smaller white text reads: “— Sara Eileen LaWall, Seeking That Which Unites Us.” At the bottom of the image is the Unitarian Universalist Association logo and name in white.

Listen, even if I wasn't a Unitarian Universalist minister I'd be telling you that they're the best congregations to find community and get activated.

Find one near you! Go tomorrow morning and again next week!

Speaking in #Minneapolis alongside MARCH, UU Rev. Ben Atherton-Zeman named why he answered this moment: morality and ethics in the face of illegal and violent enforcement. His words reflect UU witness and insistence on dignity. Updates: https://www.uuworld.org/

#ICEOut #UU #Solidarity
A purple-tinted photo shows a group of Unitarian Universalist clergy and laypeople standing closely together outdoors in winter, wearing coats, hats, scarves, and white UU stoles with the flaming chalice symbol. Large white text overlays most of the image with a quote that reads: “I am here for reasons of morality and ethics. ICE, I feel, has sacrificed any moral authority in the way they have done their job so poorly, so illegally, so violently. I would say [to all UUs] to answer the call.” Beneath the quote is the attribution: “Rev. Ben Atherton-Zeman, Minister, UU Church of St. Petersburg Florida.” At the top of the image is the text “UUWorld.org.” Along the right edge, vertical text reads “Image © Chris Northcross/UUA.” The UUWorld logo appears at the bottom.

I grew up in Oregon and Wisconsin as a UU and only when I went to college in Boston did I understand how deep the Unitarian Universalist roots are in our country. People actually knew about UUs there!

Unitarian Presidents: The Architects of American Democracy
The values of Unitarianism were crucial in shaping the United States of America in her early years. The first six presidents (and many of the other founding fathers), were Unitarians or Deists.

My Unitarian Universalist Church has protected the Mosque across the street from us both now and during the post 9/11 events. And as we saw more ICE vehicles being shipped in I expect we are going to have more events to defend against.

ICYMI: This week I rode along with a Unitarian Universalist minister as she patrolled the same neighborhood where Renee Good was killed, looking for ICE.

“We’re gonna keep taking care of people who are impacted,” she told me. “We’re gonna keep getting braver.” religionnews.com/2026/01/14/i...
In the neighborhood where Renee Good was killed, a pastor keeps patrolling for ICE
MINNEAPOLIS (RNS) — ‘There’s no option for me,’ said the Rev. Ashley Horan during a neighborhood patrol. ‘It is my responsibility to care for my neighbors in this way.’
