AUBURN — The Auburn Unitarian Universalist congregation gathered to see their new banner, which proclaims “Live with fierce hope and radical love,” blessed, on Sunday, March 26.
“As people of faith, we envision a beloved community in which diversity is celebrated as a strength and every person is recognized as sacred,” ” said Rev. Jodi Hayashida at the ceremony, “We believe we all have a role in creating that community. Our banner is an invitation into that work. It’s also a reminder that together we can find the courage and strength to choose love over fear, and hope instead of despair.”
The UU Social Justice committee sought a way to respond to palpable apprehension in the community, and looked to the church vision statement for inspiration: We are a beacon and catalyst for a community of fierce hope and radical love, said a news release from the church.
Besides the new banner, Auburn UU hears monthly testimonials from members about their ministries of radical love that help them practice fierce hope, the release said. They also share weekly local actions one may take to promote social justice, which are posted on the congregation’s website, www.auburnuu.org.
