The key message is to re-asses our assumptions about others as they deal with issues, such as conflict, in ways we might as individuals or a culture, judge, then dismiss, rather than try to understand as a way to open dialogue and gain understanding and compassion.

Enhancing our own personal attitudes and practices for an energetic and joyful life experience increases our capability to work happily and consistently in creating a world that works for all.

Relying on the Universal Source of Life that is ever-present, we become effective instruments for positive changes in ourselves and in the world.

In the past several years, Black writers such as Ibram Kendi, Ijeoma Oluo, and Adrienne Maree Brown have given us valuable advice on becoming actively anti-racist in our personal lives and our communities. As Unitarian Universalists continue to deepen their commitments, and their actions, toward a more just and equitable world, Jen Simon reflects on some necessary conditions UU congregations need to nurture in order to do this work in community.

Our fourth principle calls us to a free and responsible search for truth and meaning. What does it mean to be responsible in our search for meaning and how do we live out the results of our searching?

Building the beloved community, living lives of connection, love and justice—these are not tasks on our to-do lists but ongoing, lifelong commitments. How do we care for ourselves and our communities to ensure that our hearts and spirits and minds and bodies are healthy and thrive for the long haul?
