a small light but
uncover it. Let it shine,
use it in order to bring
more light and under-
standing to the hearts and minds of men and women.
Give them not hell but hope and courage….

Standing on the Side of Love is a campaign sponsored by the Unitarian Universalist Association and promotes respect for the inherent worth and dignity of every person. We believe that no person of any immigrant status, race, religion, gender identity and sexual orientation, ability level, or political view should be dehumanized through acts of exclusion, oppression, or violence.

 

Radical inclusion of all is the basis of Universalism in our time

and is promoted by Murray Grove Retreat and Conference Center.
