This is a beautiful song. Says everything right about being a UU! Proud to be a UU and Gay!

We do not want government in control of marriage. We need to start treating each other as humans. Government free marriage is the pathway to equality. Government should have no control over religion or marriage. Leave marriage to the religions or to the people to freely contract with one another.

My UU Church (UU Church of SE Arizona) will be holding "Coming Out Sunday" on 10/17 to proclaim publicly that we are now officially recognized as a Welcoming Congregation. Our choir will be singing this and I am so excited and thankful to be a member of a loving church community!

Hi Kay: One of the attributes of UU music is the practice of equality in that we don't publicize individual names in a choir. Just thought you''d like to know

I wonder who sings this. She has a really nice voice (I know it's written by Jason Shelton, but I wanna know who's actually singing this version).

My church sang this last Sunday at our GLBTQ Service and they could hear us out in the parking lot. I love this song, I love this faith and I love these people :)

Wow! this is really good. Brought me to tears. It is sooooo about time that people of faith, I mean REAL faith, stand up as a group and proclaim their understanding of what love is. It is colorful, filled with variety and found where any two or more people respect each other. Well done.

So what?

UU's have faith, but the question of the teachings of Jesus vs Moses, or the existence and nature of God, while interesting and worth discussing, isn't half as important to them as how they've agreed to treat people who want to be with those they love.

Oh, and a lot of UU's wouldn't consider themselves Christian. Some are, some aren't, some dabble.

We like you, too!
