Faith in Action: The Call to Courageous Engagement
Eli Poore
Unitarian Universalism calls us not only to affirm our values but to live them boldly in the world. In times of injustice, when systemic oppression and inequality persist, how do we move beyond words into direct action? What does it mean to engage in faithful resistance, to put our principles into practice with courage and integrity?
This sermon will explore the rich history of direct action within faith communities, including Unitarian Universalist movements for justice, and reflect on how we, as individuals and congregations, can answer the call to embodied love and liberation. From protest to mutual aid, from sanctuary to solidarity, we will consider the sacred work of showing up—especially when it is uncomfortable, especially when it demands risk, especially when love and justice require more than thoughts and prayers.
Together, we will reflect on how we can make our faith tangible, stepping into the prophetic tradition of those who have come before us, as we discern what it means to be a people of action in this moment.
