Throughout our history, the labor movement has accomplished a great deal. If you get weekends off or overtime pay, thank the union members who fought for those rights. None of the labor movement’s achievements would have happened without the effort, organization and advocacy of union brothers and sisters. But injustice still runs amok. We must … Continue reading The Labor Movement and Gender Equality

Unitarian Universalists tend to be avid readers. To keep abreast of current events and gain perspective on important issues, they devour news stories, articles, and editorials. They also read books—quite a lot of them. In this service, several TPUUF members and friends will share thoughts on a book they’ve read over the summer, or recently. … Continue reading Summarizing a Summer Read – 2022

Furthermore, because our Unitarian Universalist faith is based on principles not on creeds, … Continue reading SpiritUUality: Reflections and Dialogue
