Justice Church is a monthly virtual service for UUs who care about justice from across our network, to come together in community to reground spiritually, connect, and build power together. How can our first principle help us move from a punishment mindset to a restorative mindset? How does this relate to global events, and to our UU Mass Action campaigns? We further will unpack how society reacts when harm and violence is done, and the frameworks of punishment. In this Justice Church, we will reground in the first principle, recognizing the inherent worth and dignity of every person, and explore what spiritual grounding this can offer us in these challenging times. This past month many of us have been experiencing grief, horror, confusion, anger, and a wide range of emotions as we witness injustices and violence both abroad, and close to home.
