It is easy to believe UU congregations are independent - which they are. It is easy to believe we are autonomous - which we are. It is easy to believe the connections between and among our congregations are largely functional; based on sharing good ideas or programs - which they often are.
And then our hearts are broken by Sunday’s devastating shooting in Knoxville and we re-discover the deep and abiding love that truly connects us.
Today someone called our church to express condolences at our loss. I was touched by her recognition we, in Dallas and across the country, are in mourning for our sister congregations in Knoxville.
We are connected in so many ways we can name. This week, as we mourn the tragic losses in Knoxville, may we reclaim the unnamable connections of our faith that bind and bond us and, with hope, remember that love will carry us through.
