Universalism in practice Black lives matter. By Nancy McDonald Ladd

An unexpected journey May we remember our power to bless, ourselves, and others. By Lee Devoe

Letter from a hoped-for future What Unitarian Universalism looks like, twenty years from now. By Rosemary Bray McNatt

O Earth, you are surpassing fair.
From out your store we're daily fed,
We breathe your life-supporting air
and drink the water that you shed . . .

Has evolution been in vain
that life should perish ere its prime?
Or will we from our greed refrain
and save our planet while there's time?

Excerpted from Hymn 174 in Singing the Living Tradition, the hymnal of the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations.
