Sunday, May 25th: Imagination As a Sacred Tool. Our UU faith asks us to work for a more just and equitable world. In the words of Rev. Heather Concannon, “one of the sacred tools we must draw on is imagination. The tool of not just denouncing the world as it is, but of announcing: here’s what I imagine a better world to look like.” This service explores the ways that members of our UUSE community use imagination to conjure “the world our hearts know is possible”. Coordinators: Sandy Karosi & Paula Baker.
