Which Way Do We Look?
What values and aspirations do Unitarians in Canada share that can enable us to act effectively for the well-being and common good of our nation? Which way do we look? Provocative and sustaining inspiration as we dream and work to promote and embody our values/aspirations? Provocative and sustaining inspiration may well come from arts, literature, our UU heritage, our domestic life, from a progressive Canadian political and moral narrative, or from the abiding, authoritative voice within us.

“The young men in North America at this moment take little thought of what men in England are thinking and doing. That is the point which decides the welfare of the people; which way does it look?... We have come to feel that "by ourselves our safety must be bought;" to know the vast resources of the continent, the good-will that is in the people, their conviction of the great moral advantages of freedom, social equality, education, and religious culture, and their determination to hold these fast, and, by them, to hold fast to the country... " - Emerson
