Hearts Encompassing The Globe

Reverend Jeremiah Kalendae, preaching on how our heritage teaches us that the most profound

social progress happens when it is rooted in liberal religious spiritual values,

traditions, and wisdom. Unitarian Universalism has for generations married social justice

work with spirituality, the(a)ology, and religious mission. The mystical activist Andrew

Harvey writes: "Sacred Activism is a transforming force of compassion-in-action that is

born of a fusion of deep spiritual knowledge, courage, love, and passion, with wise radical

action in the world. The large-scale practice of Sacred Activism can become an essential

force for preserving and healing the planet and its inhabitants." This sacred work infuses

the life of our congregation--from working on the streets of San Francisco to caring for

children and speaking out for the voiceless. One of our latest trailblazing ministries is

our LGBT Guardian Group which is helping aslyees and refugees escaping torture and

execution in their countries of origin. A special collection will be taken up this MLK

Sunday to grow this work as we explore how, as sacred activists, our hearts can encompass

the globe.
