Two hundred and fifty years ago, a bold idea was set loose in the world. Not just that a group of colonies could become a nation—but that ordinary people could govern themselves. That power did not come from kings. That authority did not come from divine right. But that legitimacy flowed from the people themselves. And yet—this was not just a political revolution. It was also a spiritual one. Because long before muskets were fired…ideas were already changing—in pulpits, in pamphlets, in quiet conversations about who we are and what we are capable of becoming. And in those conversations, we find the early roots of what would become Unitarian Universalism. One of the greatest dangers facing humanity today is the existence of systemic corruption and the breakdown it creates within the human community. Vast networks and global systems of corruption pose an existential threat to a sustainable path forward that enhances the well-being of all persons. From the streets of Minneapolis to the ICE detention centers in Texas, music is playing a powerful role in resistance to authoritarianism. This Sunday, join UU Rev Erin Walter — minister and executive director of the Texas Unitarian Universalist Justice Ministry (TXUUJM) and singer/bassist for the activist rock band Parker Woodland — for a special service centered in music, justice, and hope. This is a great chance to learn about TXUUJM’s work, of which our congregation is a part, including Get Out the Vote efforts this year. Among the many ethical concerns related to AI is the detrimental environmental impact owing to the water and energy use of new AI Data centers, and much of this environmental impact will be felt most acutely by the most vulnerable among us. Simone Weil once wrote that “attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.” Join us for a service on the transformative gift of offering our attention to others. Led by Rev. Eric Severson. What we as a congregation may do.
