This morning, Sabrina Trupia joined us to continue our month of reflections on Interdependence with a message titled "The Questions We Cannot Ask."
Outside our own services, the UUA shares this quote from Bryan Stevenson:
"We are all broken by something. We have all hurt someone and have been hurt. We all share the condition of brokenness even if our brokenness is not equivalent. The ways in which I have been hurt—and have hurt others—are different from the ways [others have] suffered and caused suffering. But our shared brokenness connect[s] us."
Sometimes we cannot speak or ask about our own and each other's brokenness, but if we hold the knowledge that we share it as part of our shared humanity, it can still connect us.

And it already looks like we will be able to put more resources into social action. The board is asking for ideas for specific existing local causes where our Fellowship can make a difference. Please contact a board member by Sunday, April 28th with your suggestions. The board will consider everyone’s ideas and present a chosen selection of them for a final vote at our Annual Business Meeting next month.
