Beautiful inter-practice inter-religious spaces are possible.

I made so many incredible connections and have so many great memories of that time. Quite honestly, I wouldn’t be in seminary now with out those folx who called me to be this interfaith Rev.

What is needed, as has been the case, is nothing short of a revolution of everyday life.

How do we convince everyone that we have to stop living parasitically and move to more across the planet sustainable practices? If it’s too late to reverse the damage we have now, how do we motivate others to embody it’s still worth mitigating what we can?

I haven’t read Boff’s eco work yet, but I imagine it has to cover something similar. Because nothing can be separated from the criticism of empire, and the criticism of the idea that infinite growth is possible in a very finite world.

Can we take the Hegel and Marx criticism of the young Hegelians, and extend the analysis in a meaningful way that makes it so people are not only products of their environment, but also their lives are also influenced by environmental degradation?

My biggest challenge for all of this is how do move from saying every thing is sacred, or all spaces are sacred spaces to creating the cultural shift where this is a lived reality? I imagine for mass acceptance would have to come from a sort of materialism-transcendentalism of some sort.

I think full emersion would be my go to. Because ritually I think it’s an incredible symbol of washing away your the old in preparation to put on the new being. We are not to sprinkle the light of the world but to embody it wherever we may be.

I am blessed to know many, who live a life of service. And in my city we have a vibrant mutual aid network to help address the issues where government often fails.

Unitarians really do have an incredible history both in Europe and the US. The more I study Unitarian history the more I find out a great number incredible people were Unitarians.

I am glad you found a welcome space in UU churches though!

For clarification we are not affiliated with Unitarian Universalists, we are Unitarian Christians, like William Ellery Channing, Theodore Parker, Minot J Savage, Susan B Anthony and James Freeman-Clarke but to name a few.

Prioritize the lives of others over your own comfort. Do not worry about being liked while people are dying.

Silence supports the death dealing reality our government’s leaders are creating with bipartisan support.

Make no mistake, those who believe they are innocent in all of this because they haven’t played a part, are not innocent, they are a coward.

“That’s not what our churches are for.” “We are not supposed to be political at church!”

You cannot say that you stand with those on the margins while remaining silent in your pulpits and your pews.
