I’d like to let everyone know that last weekend I participated in a wonderful event at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Birmingham. David Pyle and I were invited to lead a program on how UU churches could become more invitational to military personnel and their families. This was a mutually rewarding event. It gave David and me an opportunity for us to share some of our stories of military service, and it gave members of UUCB an opportunity to share their stories as well. Our conversation covered a lot ground – from military history and Battle Mind Injury to pastoral care and what it’s like to be a military service person in Unitarian Universalism. Clearly there was a lot on our hearts and minds. I am so glad that we got to share with each other. I’d like to extend a special thanks to the UUCB members who organized and hosted this excellent event.

In faith and service,
