Two exciting pieces of news to share with you:

  1. The Canadian Unitarian Council (CUC) has hired Ariel Hunt-Brondwin as their Youth / Young Adult Programmer.  You can find out more about Ariel here.  I'm looking forward to meeting her in Victoria later this month, at the CUC's Annual Conference and Meeting.
  2. Nominations are open for the position of Youth Observer to the CUC's Board of Trustees.  According to the CUC, the primary purposes of the Youth Observer position are:
    • To bring a youth perspective to the Board;
    • To summarize youth issues for the Board; and
    • To present Board positions to Canadian UU youth.
    • Applications are due next Friday, May 14th. 

If you'd like more information about this position, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and I'll send you the full description.

Love,

Andrea

UU Bits and Bytes

Civil Rights and Social Justice

Unitarian Universalists have historically been closely involved with civil rights and social justice movements. John Haynes Holmes, a UU minister, was among the founders of both the NAACP and the ACLU, chairing the latter for a time. Approximately 20% of Unitarian Universalist ministers marched with Martin Luther King, Jr., from Selma, Alabama, to Montgomery. UU ministers have been performing same-sex unions since at least the late 1960s.

In 1995 the UUA helped establish the International Council of Unitarians and Universalists (ICUU).

Webside Pulpit

“Yet without love, nothing matters. Break your life into a million pieces and ask yourself what of any real value might endure after you are gone. The pieces that remain will each carry love’s signature. Without love, we are left only with the aching hollow of regret, that haunting emptiness where love might have been.”
