Rachel Corrie was a peace activist who went to Palestine to protect Palestinians who were being forced from their homes. Rachel was standing in front of a bulldozer with a megaphone announcing that she would not move when she was run over and killed. At General Assembly in Portland, there was a dramatic production based on her emails home. Her parents attended the production. Mike talked with them for two hours, went home that night and wrote this sermon.

“Standing on the Side of Love” is a public advocacy campaign of the UUA that seeks to harness love’s power to stop oppression. “This is a time of great hope and possibility,” say the campaigns organizers, “yet our communities are threatened by the increased prevalence of acts motivated by fear and hate. No one should be dehumanized through acts of exclusion, oppression, or violence because of their identities. In public debates over immigration, LGBT rights, and more, religious people stand on the side of love and call for respect, inclusion, and compassion.” This Valentine’s Day, we explore how UUs are standing on the side of love in all its forms.
