Our Soul Matters theme for January is Practicing Resistance. The Underground Railroad and the civil rights movement were non-violent resistance against the cruelty and injustice of slavery and segregation. There was violent resistance and violent backlash, but it was non-violent resistance that most stubbornly bent the moral arc of the universe toward justice. Quakers and Unitarian Universalists were led by their faith to help. Even Thomas Paine leant a hand with his pen. Their actions can inform and inspire us to live our faith and our principles in these challenging times.
