A square graphic with a stylized mountain landscape in shades of blue, a yellow and peach gradient sky, and a white sun rising above the peaks. White birds fly in the sky. Large white text at the center reads: “In times like these, our faith does not retreat. It rises.” At the top left is the text “http://UUA.ORG .” At the bottom left is a yellow heart-shaped brushstroke logo with the words “Side With Love.” At the bottom right is the red and orange Unitarian Universalist Association flaming chalice logo.

As the weight of violence presses more heavily on our world, many of us carry grief and weariness. ✨ Our faith does not retreat. It rises. ✨

Grounded in love, we show up for one another and for our neighbors with courage and compassion.

A bright yellow graphic with a white oval shape in the center. Inside the oval is the quote in large black text: “Each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve ever done.” Beneath the quote it says, “Bryan Stevenson, ‘Just Mercy’ (2014).” At the top left and bottom right corners of the oval are circular icons with quotation marks inside. Behind the text is a faint outline of the UUA flaming chalice logo. White rays extend outward diagonally across the yellow background. At the bottom right corner of the image, in black text, it says “http://UUA.ORG .”

“Each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve ever done.” – Bryan Stevenson
We all carry mistakes, but our worth is never erased. Together we can live this truth—choosing compassion, lifting each other up, and working toward a more just world. 💛

#UnitarianUniversalist #UU #Faith #LoveAtTheCenter

A square graphic featuring a quote from Rev. Dr. Laura Solomon’s Braver/Wiser reflection “Us, Human, Here.” The background is white with splashes of red paint along the top and bottom edges. A large red heart illustration, appearing as if it is painted on cracked concrete, is featured in the lower right. The heart is visibly fractured down the middle. The quote reads: “Us, human, here, breaking and crying, crumbling and loving still: you are who I love. Your tenderness, your rage, your hope and hopelessness, your justice-seeking, your protesting, your loving us anyway: YOU ARE WHO I LOVE. —Rev. Dr. Laura Solomon in Us, Human, Here.” In the bottom right corner, there is the white UUA flaming chalice logo. Below the quote, the URL http://UUA.ORG appears in white text on the red background.

💔 As we begin this week, UU Rev. Dr. Laura Solomon reminds us that to be human is to break open—and still choose to care. Our questions, our fury, our tenderness all belong.

A photo of me—a middle-aged Black male with salt-and-pepper facial hair and glasses with rainbow-frames, wearing a black t-shirt that reads "This Unitarian Universalist Loves You" with Unitarian Universalist in an assortment of rainbow colors and the rest of the lettering in white. I am WET with perspiration and apparently quite exhausted.

Here is a pic of me circa 3AM Sunday morning when I decided to head back home from Baltimore, drenched in sweat and saturated with lovingkindness.

This Unitarian Universalist loves you.

A promotional graphic for the JUUst Breathe podcast. The background is light with bold text at the top reading “JUUst Breathe Podcast.” The word “Podcast” is in a flowing, handwritten-style orange font. Below that, smaller black text reads “Episode 9 – Love.” Two panelist photos are displayed side by side. On the left is Avery Miller-Fabregas, labeled with a red box that says “Panelist” and beige text box below that reads “Avery Miller-Fabregas.” Avery is a young person with a large afro hairstyle, wearing a dark brown blazer over a green top. They are standing against a neutral gray background and looking slightly toward the camera with a subtle smile. On the right is Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt, also labeled with a red box that says “Panelist” and beige text box that reads “Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt.” She has light brown skin, wears glasses, and is dressed in a black jacket, red turtleneck, and a houndstooth-patterned scarf. Her hair is pulled back. She is standing in front of a softly blurred indoor background with vertical light-colored slats.

💜 New from the JUUst Breathe Podcast💜

#LoveAtTheCenter

Unitarian Universalists affirm that LOVE—of the Divine, of Self, of Neighbor—is at the core of our tradition. How we treat immigrants, refugees, strangers…anyone…says a lot about who we are at heart.

A #GoodFriday thought I posted on my FB page, reflecting on the #Gospel of Luke 23:13-16, 18-25 (NRSVUE) and the commandment to #LOVE:

A photo of the April 2025 issue of The Christian Century is on a wooden table top opened to page 14 and the article "Faith-based groups challenge Trump orders in two court cases" by Jack Jenkins of the Religious News Service. To the right of the hradline is a dark blue and red ceramic coffee mug with  a yellow heart drawn in fingerpaint encircling the printed words "Choose Love." The words Morning Coffee with Rev. Tony are written in dark blue letters under the mug and next to the headline. Other images are the cover of the magazine, an illustration of prisoners' datwings of the statue of liberty and pull quotes and underlined passages from the article elsewhere in the magazine.

#morningcoffee with everyone working to defend the #humanrights of #immigrants and #refugees especially the #undocumented . It's hard living in #theupsidedown where #compassion and #empathy are scorned, but keep #loveatthecenter and #keepfigting. #morningcoffeewithrevtony

My sermon from yesterday about the power of culture and creating a culture of love, justice, equity, inclusion, compassion, empathy, and mutual support to replace the culture of corporate capitalist violence. youtu.be/i6kOJiE228A #culturechange #LoveAtTheCenter #DefeatCapitalism #ResistTyranny

Sending a reminder that the sun rises each day and we carry on. There is always more light and love in this world if you only choose to find it. #uuvalues #loveatthecenter #sunrise #thisworldisworthfightingfor

Good morning! This is a great sermon. 🤗

I wasn't prepared for the ending...😂
