See how you can convince people, not to believe together, but convnice them to be together.      -Loretta Ross, reproductive justice activist

There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about. - Margaret J. Wheatley

What we do simply by gathering together at a Unitarian Universalist congregation is a countercultural act. 

Elandria Williams, co-moderator of the Unitarian Universalist Association, tells her faith story, 

"The history and legacy of Unitarian Universalism are shaped as much by Emerson, Fahs, and Channing as it is by the ancestors in our congregations. We come to it through different avenues: the Internet, an invitation, reading the Transcendentalists, or as babies or little kids...

"I am part of the connective tissue that holds the legacy and future of our faith. I am Church Across the Street, AYS, YRUU, youth cons, Journey Toward Wholeness, GROUNDWORK, C*UUYAN, the Mountain, and GA Youth and Young Adult Caucus.

"We are the children of freedom fighters, visionaries, and radical liberal theologians.

"We are the phoenix rising out of the ashes of the McCarthy era and the civil rights, women's, and queer liberation movements.

"We are the survivors and beneficiaries of youth-led and youth-focused beliefs and programming that encouraged us to be change makers, boundary pushers, and institutionalists at the same time.

"We are and will be the ministers, religious educators, con­gregational presidents, organizers, and social change leaders our faith has led us to be.

"We wear our faith as tattoos on our bodies and in our hearts as testaments to the blood, tears, dreams, and inspirations of our community ancestors and elders."

We are community-builders of hope and justice.
