Dear Ones,
Mother’s Day can be a special, tender, and/or painful time for many. However it may find you this Sunday, I invite you to reflect on (or learn about for the first time) the UU roots of what eventually became this holiday.
One hundred fifty five years ago, Unitarian Julia Ward Howe, who was also a nurse, abolitionist, feminist and poet, declared that women must demand global peace. This brief Peace Alliance article includes the proclamation, and other important and inspiring history.
Wishing you a day of peace, whatever that might mean to you!
