The world has been hard lately. You know what I mean. The assumption that all people are good, loving, and accepting has seriously been challenged. As we look forward to the next few years of our American life, the future is unknown. What will our nation look like in four years? Who will be hurt along that journey? How can we protect those who are dear to us and make the world a more loving and safe place for everyone? I propose we do have the power of prophecy. Prophecy is the theme for January, and so very relevant today. This power of prophecy comes from within. We can trust our internal purpose and unignorable call to action to help us shape the future. This coming week in Children's Chapel we will hear the Sicilian story of The Bell of Justice. Men and women of Atri, the bell hanging in this market place I have had put here for you. Any one of you may come and ring it, old or young, rich or poor. But no one must ring it unless he has been unfairly treated by someone else. This is a Bell of Justice I'm inspired to ring the "Bell of Justice" and empower others, most importantly our children, to ring that bell too.

This blog will give families ideas to practically live a "Full Week Faith" as Unitarian Universalists. Archives
