On the anniversary of the Hamas attacks, we remember all who were killed, call for the release of every living hostage, and the return of all who have died. We also call on Israel to end the genocide in Gaza and the occupation of the West Bank — so peace and justice can begin. #Unitarian #Peace

There’s a quiet strength in all of us; a small flame that never goes out. Real courage is staying true to kindness, fairness & honesty, even when it’s hard. Tend your inner flame of compassion & justice, it helps light the way for others. #Unitarian #Courage #Compassion #Hope #UKUnitarian

We don’t need more faith — just faith that does something: writes letters, feeds people, welcomes strangers, challenges injustice. Even a mustard-seed of compassion can move mountains. #Unitarian #HopeInAction #Kindness #Community #Justice #UKUnitarians

In the wake of attacks on a synagogue in Crumpsall and a mosque in Peacehaven, may calm rise higher than anger and humanity speak louder than hate. Let us light candles, not fires; and rebuild in compassion, courage, and solidarity. #Peace #Unity #StandTogether

Growth often means outgrowing what once felt sacred. Change doesn’t dishonour the past, it honours the truth we’ve discovered since. #Unitarian #SpiritualJourney #UKUnitarians

A Prayer Our hearts are with the Jewish community in Crumpsall after today’s attack. We grieve with those harmed, stand against antisemitism, and pray for healing, courage, and solidarity. Hate will not have the final word, for love and humanity are stronger. Amen

My heart is with the Manchester synagogue community after today’s appalling attack. Antisemitism has no place in our society. All right minded people should stand in solidarity with all affected, and recommit ourselves to building communities rooted in safety, dignity, and peace for all.

Sometimes the sharpest truths cut through our pretence and call us to rest. Not escape, but wholeness—the kind that comes when we stop striving and start listening to what really matters. #Unitarian #Rest #Wholeness #UKUnitarians

Wealth fades, status crumbles, and none of us can take it with us. What matters is the way we live, the kindness we share, and the love we leave behind. #Unitarian #Ethics #Humanity #UKUnitarians

When we forget kindness, the world feels bleak. But even in the mess, there are people choosing compassion, choosing justice, choosing hope. They remind us: we can build something better, together. #Unitarian #Hope #Community #Justice #UKUnitarians

Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is simply stay. Stay with a friend in their grief. Stay with a parent who needs care. Stay with someone who feels forgotten. Loyalty may not be flashy, but it can change lives — and maybe even history. #Unitarian #Kindness #Community #Loyalty #UKUnitarians

Kindness and integrity matter. Choose compassion over cynicism, fairness over shortcuts, and curiosity over fear. Trust that a life built on honesty and care creates a better future for all. #Unitarian #Wisdom #Ethics #UKUnitarians

Celebrate the beauty of the world today. The rhythm of the sea, the song of the birds, the pulse of the earth. Let’s join in with the chorus and add our own voice of joy and hope. #Unitarian #Wonder #JoyfulLiving #Connected #UKUnitarians

Society cheers billionaires for buying rockets, but barely notices the people holding families, neighbours, and communities together every day. Maybe we’ve been clapping for the wrong crowd. #Unitarian #EverydayHeroes #RealWork #QuietStrength #UKUnitarians

Speaking up for what matters isn’t always easy. Sometimes it divides, sometimes it costs us. But every act of courage, every word of truth helps build a more just, compassionate world. #Unitarian #Courage #Justice #Compassion #UKUnitarians

Big changes always start small. A chat over tea, a late-night idea, a story that just clicks. When we share what matters, we light up the room and help others find their way too. #Unitarian #IdeasMatter #LightTheWay #UKUnitarians

My apologies to anyone who awaits my little musings with bated breath. I hand a terrible migraine today and can’t think straight.

It's clear that the police just can't arrest more than 850 people in one day, even if thousands sit patiently waiting to be arrested for 10 hours. There's a limit to what police can do if the people don't consent to an unjust law.

True friendship and solidarity ask us to see one another as equals, not possessions. When we choose dignity, respect, and reconciliation, we make the world fairer for everyone. #Unitarian #MutualRespect #SharedHumanity #UKUnitarians

The best adventures start when we make space for everyone at the table. The regulars, the newcomers, and the ones who never thought they’d be invited. A full party makes the journey richer for us all. #Unitarian #RoomForAll #OpenTable #StrongerTogether #UKUnitarians

Real strength isn’t about dominating others, it’s about lifting each other up. Welcome difference, work for the good of all, and build a world where everyone belongs. #Unitarian #Community #Justice #Compassion #UKUnitarians

We all have moments where we get stuck in old habits that no longer serve us. Life keeps offering fresh starts, invitations to live differently, to grow, to choose what makes us more alive. #Unitarian #FreshStart #Growth #NewBeginnings #ChooseLife #UKUnitarians

Life has a funny way of humbling us. We can plan every step, but kindness, honesty, and humility tend to get us further than cleverness alone. Walk gently, choose fairness, and keep learning; that’s real wisdom. #Unitarian #Wisdom #Kindness #Honesty #Humility #UKUnitarians

Be ready for the unexpected. Life rarely follows our schedules, and moments of change often come without warning. Living with awareness, care, and responsibility means we’re better prepared when the knock comes at the door. #Unitarian #MindfulLiving #SharedResponsibility #UKUnitarians

No part of who we are is hidden. Our stories, our struggles, our hopes—they matter. To be fully seen and known is not something to fear, but something that can set us free. #Unitarian #HumanSpirit #Belonging #UKUnitarians

Life isn’t about what we lack but about recognising the richness already present. Gratitude opens our eyes to everyday gifts and helps us live more fully. #Unitarian #Gratitude #EverydayGifts #LivingFully #UKUnitarians

When grief hits, it can feel like emptiness has taken over and the world has turned away. Lament reminds us that it’s okay to name our losses, to sit in the silence, and to let sorrow be part of our truth. #Unitarian #Grief #HonestEmotion #UKUnitarians

True freedom isn’t about rules written in stone, but about living with openness, authenticity, and connection. When we look at each other with honesty and compassion, we find ourselves becoming more fully alive. #Unitarian #Authenticity #UKUnitarians

Sometimes we find clarity not in big revelations, but over breakfast, in small acts of care, and in returning to what matters most. #Unitarian #SimpleLiving #OrdinaryMagic #UKUnitarians

There’s a time for everything: for planting and harvesting, for grieving and celebrating, for silence and for speaking out. Wisdom comes in knowing which season you’re in—and embracing it fully #Unitarian #LifeSeasons #Ecclesiastes #UKUnitarians

When our shared home is scarred by greed, exploitation, and neglect, the damage touches everyone. Yet renewal is possible—by living with care, fairness, and respect for the earth and each other. #Unitarian #Justice #Hope #SharedFuture #UKUnitarians

What use is prosperity if people cannot enjoy it? A just society is one where everyone shares in life’s goodness, not just the privileged few. #Unitarian #JustSociety #UKUnitarians

Peace isn’t found by accident—it grows when we focus on what is good, fair, and beautiful, and let kindness shape our lives. #Unitarian #Peace #UKUnitarians

Poetry often asks us to wrestle with life’s mysteries. Like science, it rarely gives final answers—but it opens us to wonder. Perhaps the gift is not in solving everything, but in being changed by the struggle, and learning to live in awe. #Unitarian #Wonder #UKUnitarians

Seasons shift, days lengthen and shorten, life keeps moving in rhythm. In the constancy of change, we can find steadiness. #Unitarian #Rhythmoflife #UKUnitarians

What does it mean to live “abundantly”? Is it freedom, love, wealth, being your “true self”? R.S. Thomas’ poem, Marged shows us a life that seems denied its song. Yet even in limits, some find depth, meaning, and fulness. Perhaps abundance isn’t what we have, but how we live. #Unitarian #Abundance

Inclusivity isn’t a one-time choice — it’s a daily practice. Old habits and fears creep back, but growth means choosing unity again and again. #Unitarian #Growth #UKUnitarians

Sunday, or whichever day one recognises as their sabbath, is a chance to pause: what do we bring—joy, gratitude, struggle? How do we imagine what steadies and inspires us? Let’s soften our hearts and make space for living more deeply. #Unitarian #Sabbath #UKUnitarians

Life is messy; struggles, joys, duties, failures. The trick isn’t escaping it, but throwing ourselves into it. Dietrich Bonhoeffer called it “this-worldliness.” We might just call it living fully, here & now. #Unitarian #LivingFully #UKUnitarians

It’s easy to forget what matters most when life gets busy. Deep relationships, purpose, and values don’t deepen by accident—they need time and attention. What would it look like if we kept them at the centre, not the edges, of daily life? #Unitarian #RightRelationship #UKUnitarians

The “Peter Principle” says people rise to the level of their incompetence. Maybe leadership isn’t about being flawless, but about being willing to grow, fail, and keep showing up. #Unitarian #Leadership #Growth #UKUnitarian

Even more procrastination success!

Our deepest values mean little if they don’t meet the grit of daily life—and daily life feels empty if cut off from deeper meaning. The challenge is to hold both together. That’s where integrity lies. #Unitarian #Values #UKUnitarians

In a culture that idolises success, it’s easy to lose sight of truth, decency, and compassion. Real worth isn’t found in being seen as “successful,” but in how deeply we live with integrity, kindness, and humanity. Maybe that’s the measure of true success. #Unitarian #TrueSuccess #UKUnitarians

Real change is rarely the work of one person alone. It grows when we go out in pairs, build trust, share peace, and accept the hospitality of others. Community begins with connection. #Unitarian #TogetherWeThrive #UKUnitarians

Sometimes the answer we need isn’t the dramatic gesture we imagine, but the small, ordinary act we’d rather dismiss. Healing, growth, and change often begin in the humble steps we’re reluctant to take. #Unitarian #EverydayWisdom #UKUnitarians

Anger can spark change when it’s directed at injustice. But if unchecked it can leave us bitter and closed off from compassion. The challenge is to tell the difference. Holding on to righteous anger, while letting go of what clouds reason and peace of mind. #Unitarian #RighteousAnger #UKUnitarians

We’ve all said “I’d never do that” only to discover later that we did. Determination is good, but being human means we contradict ourselves, and fall short. The challenge is not in never failing, but in learning, growing, and finding the strength to try again. #Unitarian #Growth #UKUnitarians

Stories have power. They help us imagine ourselves in another’s shoes, ask “what would I have done?”, and spark ideas for change. Whether it’s about unsafe roads or people in need, sharing stories can lead to community action that makes life safer, kinder, and better for all. #Unitarian #Community

When life feels like waves crashing over you, remember the strength you’ve built from every storm you’ve survived. Stand firm, draw on your resilience, and know you can weather this one too. #Unitarian #Courage #Resilience #UKUnitarians
