Happy Pride!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Wishing everyone deep love, care, and connection as we begin Pride Month this year. As a q***r, Afro-Latina cis-woman, I know well how important the example of BIPOC leadership is and how much q***r leadership matters.

To all of my LGBTQIA+ fam within Unitarian Universalism and beyond, may we celebrate our many gifts and community and continue to care for and encourage one another in all the days ahead. We are sacred, whole, and holy – and we are here to stay, to lead, and thrive.

Happy Pride, fam.

We send our unwavering support for Unitarian Universalists (UU) in uniform and our UU military chaplains. We recently learned the Department of Defense (DOD) has removed 180 separate religious affiliations from the US military’s list of religious affiliation codes. This eliminates the code for Unitarian Universalists, as well as Humanists, Atheists and Pagan traditions, and many others. Along with dozens of other religious traditions, UUs will be categorized broadly under “Other” in military’s religious affiliation codes.

Please note this decision does not directly impact the status of our UU military chaplains, who are authorized through a separate faith-based endorsement process with the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). What it does mean is that Unitarian Universalist service members will not be able to select their specific religious identity in their personnel records. This may make it more difficult for our uniformed UUs to access the spiritual care that they need.

At this time, we are diligently working with our UUA counsel and partners in a variety of faith traditions to craft a strategic response that faithfully represents our values and demonstrates clear support for our UU service members and their families, as well as all those who are impacted by this DOD policy.

We will share more information when it is available. But today, we declare that no government action can erase our faith nor lessen the powerful and necessary grounding it provides for those who serve.

The Rev. Kristina Spaude will lead the service, "Pride and Prejudice (The Gay Kind).” The state may insist on removing Pride flags painted on our streets and sidewalks, but they can never take it from our hearts. This morning we will name the challenges of and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

We were honored to receive this plaque of appreciation for UUCLC’s support of the students and teachers of our neighbor, Eustis Heights Elementary.

Dr. Jes Martinez-Hunt will lead the service, "Something Beautiful May Be Beginning." In a time that invites us to brace and rush to certainty, this sermon explores curiosity as a quiet spiritual practice that keeps us open to one another, to transformation, and to love. We are invited to notice where something in our lives may still be unfolding, and to trust that even small openings can lead to meaningful change.

The Rev. Kristina Spaude will lead the service, "Never Lose a Holy Curiosity." Curiosity is not just for children and cats. It can shape our lives: we learn to ask good and better questions, to seek for the truth, to explore how we, across difference, can be together. This morning we'll explore stories of people who have never lost their holy curiosity and what we might learn from this.
