Unitarian Universalist Association We are Unitarian Universalists. We are brave, curious, and compassionate thinkers and doers. We are believers in what is good, what is right, and what is just.
(2739)

We are diverse in faith, ethnicity, history and spirituality, but aligned in our desire to practice our faith and beliefs in tangible ways. We foster a respectful community hallmarked by action, love, and acceptance of all people. We have radical roots and a history as self-motivated spiritual people: we think for ourselves and actively object to what we believe is wrong. We have a track record of siding with people, love, justice, and peace. Our faith has always been motivated by a desire to contribute to the greater good. Our page here on Facebook is managed by a small team of staff at the UUA. We do our work in alignment with UU values and emerging practices for digital engagement. We actively review comments on our page and moderate commenting to ensure that comments do not cause harm or use hateful speech, that irrelevant or spam content is not shared, and that the space is not misused or employed for something other than its intended purpose.

We carry more than memories of those who came before us. We carry their stories, their wisdom, their resilience, and their love—sometimes in ways we don't even recognize.

In “Embodied Scriptures,” Melissa Jeter reflects on her connection to her grandmother, the ancestral paths that shaped her, and the ways our bodies hold stories that reach far beyond our own lifetimes.

Through her reflections, she invites us to consider what it means to belong to something larger than ourselves—and how reconnecting with our ancestors can deepen our understanding of who we are.

This week’s UU Acronym of the Week is LFE: Lifespan Faith Engagement. ✨

LFE takes a whole-church approach to faith development—recognizing that worship, relationships, leadership, justice work, fellowship, and learning all shape how we grow as Unitarian Universalists throughout our lives.

That same idea is at the heart of Woven Faith, the UUA’s new lifespan curricular series, built around the idea that the congregation is the curriculum. 🌀

For Greta Gerwig, Unitarian Universalism has long been a place where questions, uncertainty, and different perspectives are welcome.

As the acclaimed filmmaker prepares to bring “The Chronicles of Narnia” to the screen in 2027, we're revisiting a 2013 UU World interview about how her UU upbringing has shaped her life and creative work.

Gerwig reflects on the openness of UU community, the freedom to explore faith without having all the answers, and what keeps drawing her back.

The Unitarian Universalist Association welcomes a federal court decision allowing a multifaith lawsuit challenging immigration enforcement policies at houses of worship to move forward.

As threats to religious freedom and the sanctity of our places of worship continue, the UUA remains committed to protecting the rights of people of faith.

We loved seeing author Erik Mohn on NBC10 Boston’s The Hub Today in conversation with host Kwani Lunis on his publication day! His memoir Stranger in My Own Story is a raw and searching debut that chronicles coming of age as a transracial adoptee. It is a necessary addition to the modern canon of literary memoirs that explore race, identity, and belonging. It's available now wherever books are sold!

Erik Mohn was raised to believe that love was enough. America taught him otherwise. Born to a Black mother he never knew and adopted by a white family in small-town Massachusetts, Mohn grew up cherished yet unprepared for what his skin would mean in the world.

Stranger in My Own Story traces Mohn’s coming of age as he searches not just for identity but for language—words for grief, for anger, for belonging, for the silence left by a mother he lost and a father he could never quite reach. He pieces together meaning from what’s available and hip-hop becomes his first mirror and his first vocabulary—a survival guide passed through speakers and headphones.

As the cost of his cultural displacement begins to surface, Mohn is forced to confront the wounds he’s been carrying. Those reckonings come to a head at Howard University—“The Mecca”—where the self he assembled in isolation is tested in community, challenged in relationship, and slowly transformed.

Written with the lyrical pulse of hip-hop and a moral clarity forged in lived experience, Stranger in My Own Story is an intimate memoir of transracial adoption and a universal story about what it costs to grow up without a mirror—and what it takes to build one anyway. Mohn's story is a reflection of the nation's: unfinished, fragile, and still reaching toward wholeness.

🗣️💬 Let us know in the comments: What's something you couldn't do without a little help from others?

Whether it's something big or small, we're constantly reminded that none of us does life alone.

That idea is at the heart of "Interdependence: Threads of Connection", Episode 2 of the JUUST Breathe podcast, exploring how we connect, grow, and learn together.

Guest host Lillian Drab-Braddick joins Maria Talero, PhD, and Rev. Dr. JJ Flag to explore what it means to be part of the interdependent web of life—and what thriving together can look like.

The White House has reversed plans to livestream the ex*****on of Nidal Malik Hasan, but the moral concerns remain.

The proposal itself threatens human dignity, risks profound moral and spiritual injury to those who witness such an event, and furthers a culture of violence.

The UUA, the Unitarian Universalists for Social Justice, and the Texas UU Justice Ministry reaffirm our longstanding opposition to the death penalty and our commitment to justice rooted in human dignity.
