Soul Matters
Welcome to Soul Matters!
Every month this year, we'll examine a different theme through Soul Matters, a Unitarian Universalist theme-based curriculum that encourages deep thinking about spiritual, religious, and philosophical topics. Look for opportunities in Worship, Religious Education, Sharing Groups, and on social media.
Our theme for October is Cultivating Compassion. It’s tempting to think of this month’s theme as one of our lighter, more pleasant ones. After all, compassion sounds…well, nice. It conjures warm feelings and tender thoughts. Images come to mind of people telling each other they are holding them in their hearts. It would seem to be all about emotional connection and empathetic feeling. But compassion is not just niceness and thoughtful feelings. It’s about something deeper: an impulse that drives us to action.
