Working for justice is long, hard work, so I’m grateful for opportunities to laugh along the way. It’s especially rewarding when humor also makes an important point.

On that note, here’s to Mike Brown from the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Springfield, MO, for his letter published in the “Roses & Thorns” section of the Springfield News-Leader. His piece calls out unacceptable behavior, lifts up justice work as central to Unitarian Universalism, and it made me laugh. Thanks Mike! May you and First UU keep up the good work.
