Rising Strong

Brené Brown’s new book of the same name encourages us not to look at failures so much as our ability to rise after we have fallen. What’s the spiritual message here?

All Souls: The Unitarian Universalist Way

More than two hundred years ago Unitarians and Universalists were in the vanguard of a revolt against the Puritan idea of a world divided between the saved and unsaved, between good and bad people. We declared universal divine love and the worth of all. How might we live out our beliefs in universal love and the inherent worth of all today?

Truth and the Consequences

Just as the choice to tell a lie has consequences, so does telling the truth at times.

What might have happened had he lived? How do we carry the flame of his life into our day?
