Be Gay, Do Crime!

Why We Gather

Recent events have reminded us how important Unitarian Universalism’s voice is in our world and raised a deeper question: Why do we gather? This Sunday, as we celebrate our newest members, we’ll explore how spiritual community offers belonging, wisdom, hope, and joy, while helping us become a force for love and light in challenging times.

Be Gay, Do Crime!

The phrase "Be Gay, Do Crime" became popular after the discovery of some graffiti in Marseilles, France in 2016. Embraced by the queer anarchist movement, the phrase is now a rallying cry for the LGBTQ+ community, whose very existence has been (and still is) seen by some as deviant and even criminal. How do queer folk continue to wake up every morning embracing their true selves and finding joy in life?

Life as a Pilgrimage

What if life is not a race to be won, or a destination to arrive at, but a pilgrimage to be walked with presence, courage, and wonder? Drawing on stories and insights from her sabbatical travels to pilgrimage sites across Europe, Rev. Nica explores what it means to live life as a pilgrimage, and how we might be transformed when we learn to walk through life with openness, intention, and awe.

Return Again

Today, Rev. Nica returns to Chalice from her sabbatical. Please join us in welcoming her back and beginning to get a sense of her adventures.

The Renegade Rabbi, Yeshua
