Where Justice Abides
When we think about Beloved Community, one can’t help starting with justice. UU white
supremacy is being called out and challenged in our culture and our faith. We are gaining
insights and slowly making steps forward thanks to the faith leaders of color about how to
journey into multicultural wholeness. So, what’s one of the ways our faith guides us into
becoming a people of Beloved Community? It tells us to “work towards justice!”
Chalice Words:
"True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice."
--Martin Luther King Jr.

Journal Moment! Write a Golden Shovel Poem. Take a line (or lines) from a poem you admire. Use each word in the line (or lines) as an end word in your poem. Keep the end words in order. Give credit to the poet who originally wrote the line (or lines). The new poem does not have to be about the same subject as the poem that offers the end words.”
