The prophetic voice is essential to our Unitarian Universalist understanding of religion.  Naming the injustices of the world, organizing to confront them, and staying committed until love and justice prevail are what we are proud to point to in our UU history and it is what deeply engages UUs across the country today.  How do we proclaim and act forcefully yet remain calm enough inside to respond rather than react, to deescalate rather than contribute to the spiral of violence, to engage difference in values and approach from a place of loving kindness rather than contempt?  How to we keep calm and get fired up at the same time?
