Social Action
“Our Unitarian Universalist congregations and other faith communities can be islands of rest and renewal but also challenge us to resist the forces of oppression beyond our communities and inside ourselves. They are places where we can shape and plan our resistance with others who have a similar vision, combining our energy and our passions to create the change we wish to see in the world.”
– Paul Langston-Daley
