Unitarian Universalists recently replaced the Seven Principles and Six Sources with shared values that guide how we live and move through the world. At the center is Love, surrounded by six values: equity, interdependence, justice, generosity, pluralism, and transformation. But what does it actually mean to live these values? Over the coming months, our Lifelong Spiritual Formation Director, Toben Cooney- Callnan and Jeremy Litchfield will be holding gatherings after some Sunday services for Coffee and Conversations to explore these questions together. We’ll start with love itself and then move through each value in turn. These aren’t lectures or lessons. They’re conversations where we can think loud together about what these values mean in our own lives and in the world right now.
January 11th- What is Love? Is it a feeling we have for the people closest to us? Is it something bigger that shapes how we move through the world? In this first conversation, we’ll explore what it means to put love at the center. We’ll talk about how we each define love and whether loving someone is the same as leading with love. We’ll also wrestle with harder questions like how we approach people who are causing harm. Bring your questions, your doubts, and your own understanding of what love means to you. We’ll provide the coffee.
