Ponderings of our Spiritual Life Director 4-14-25

#UULent #power There are so many questions we can, and should, ask about power. Power exists in every relationship. Why is it so common that power is hierarchical, a dominating force, an inequity? Why isn’t power shared? Do we know what shared power looks like? What has power over you? What do you have power over? In what relationships do you practice shared power and how is it beneficial to all? How can you do more of that?

Does your faith have power over you? Does it give you power? How does Unitarian Universalism teach about power? What do our values and covenants have to say about power? What power does the flaming chalice, the symbol of our faith, have in your life?

(And, have you ever noticed that all the letters in “power” are in the top row of the keyboard?)
