This Sunday, we were invited to join our neighbors at the UU Church of Columbia. Rev. Molly Housh-Gordon reflected on what has been a week of complex emotions for many UUs hoping that our nation's democratic process would come to more fully reflect our welcoming values. Many of us feel relieved and joyful, but also remain worried and disillusioned. Rev. Molly called us to be reminded in this moment that our liberation is connected to the liberation of all, and to learn from the marginalized among us who have long known that the struggle toward a more just and loving society is long and hard, that we cannot wait for governmental or supernatural forces to save us: "we save ourselves in community." Rev. Molly called us to build the future not by papering over wounds still bleeding or arguing with naysayers, but by building liberation and joy and keeping open a place at that table for anyone who will join us there.
The full service is now available to view online, with Rev. Molly's sermon, special music, words from UUCC Philosopher-in-Residence Rev. Dr. C. W. Dawson, and more: https://youtu.be/xp4gxUHoUms
