Meaningful, effective response requires us to enga

When the world feels heavy, and there are no easy answers, comfort often arrives in quieter ways. Not as solutions, but as presence. Not as certainty, but as care that stays.
In “Finding Comfort Through Song,” UUA Rev. Meg Barnhouse reflects on grief, love, and the ways people offer one another refuge simply by showing up. She reminds us that we do not have to fix suffering to accompany one another through it.
We are lifting up these words in memory of Meg—a storyteller, troubadour, clergy leader, and friend who once swore she would forever be a rebel in her heart, and who passed away earlier this month.

The name Sing Out Love continues the lineage of our UU hymnals: from Singing the Living Tradition to Singing the Journey to Las voces del camino. Sing Out Love orients us to this moment in the unfolding story of our faith.
In consultation with the Association for Unitarian Universalist Music Ministries (AUUMM), the UUA’s Virtual Hymnal Task Force has been at work since March 2023.
Our Vision: to build a living collection of song resources through an accessible, equitable, online platform grounded in UU values. This virtual hymnal will help Unitarian Universalism live into our prophetic calling as a joyful, liberatory, and anti-oppressive faith.

"If the world is to survive, it should respect the life of every creature." ~ Fondation Brigitte Bardot (Rest in Peace)

Brigitte Bardot, the famous French actress who gave up acting at 39 to devote her life to the welfare of animals, died on Sunday at her home in southern France. She was 91. In 1986, she created the Fondation Brigitte Bardot, based in Paris, which has waged battles against wolf hunting, bullfighting, vivisection and the consumption of horse meat. It has helped more than 12,000 animals In 70 countries. While a very controversial figure regarding her Islamophobia, anti LGBTQ+, and other objectionable views, Ms. Bardot was undoubtedly an animal advocate.
She said, "When I was making films, I discovered there was a difference between loving animals and fighting for them — and I didn’t have time to fight for them. So that’s why I gave up cinema. I stopped making films to look after animals.”
