This sermon explores how Unitarian Universalism defines its identity through a broad collection of principles and sources rather than a singular dogma. The speaker emphasizes that while the seven principles guide behavior, the six sources provide the movement’s spiritual foundation by drawing wisdom from world religions, science, and prophetic individuals. A significant portion of the sermon focuses on the second source, which honors the “words and deeds of prophetic women and men” who confront injustice with love. To illustrate this, the speaker shares a moving personal account of Alice Johnson, a civil rights activist whose life and tragic death embodied these values. Ultimately, the sermon highlights that this faith celebrates a diverse search for truth, finding sacred meaning in both ancient traditions and modern lives of courage.
