August 23: A Case Against Balance
Service Leader: Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray

| Balance is a great spiritual and emotional quality to nurture. However, balance can also mean the status quo. Are there times when balance is not what is needed? How do you reconcile balance when aspects of our world and society are so clearly out of balance? |

Service Leader: Rev. Lisa McDaniel-Hutchins

Many of us are aware of the serious challenges affecting our state, nation, and world. How did we get here? We'll look at the hopeful possibilities for the future, including what we as individuals and as a network of Unitarian Universalists can offer to our local communities and Arizona. How might we bring our UU values to the public discourse to provide a voice for justice, equality, and compassion, speaking for human dignity and environmental responsibility in Arizona?
