Sunday we shared a message from Liz James & Rev. Anne Barker, founders of the Unitarian Universalist Hysterical Society. Some of our members have long enjoyed the Hysterical Society's humorous Facebook posts, but humor is not just a diversion. Too often, we are trained to hide our emotions: our loud laughs, our messy tears. Women can be particularly pressured to seek calm and peace at any cost and disparaged as "hysterical" if they let their emotions burst out. But a spiritual home, James & Barker argued, should be a place where all of who we are is welcome, where shared covenant -- and yes, shared humor --- connect us, where we are accepted "cracks" and all so that we can "hatch" into the people we were meant to be.
