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.
