Reverend Tet Gallardo speaks about those Unitarian moments that call to us. Those are the times when humans learn to be with each other despite their differences, often occurring when differences are most pronounced. Mexican doctors cross the border to help American disaster victims; Filipinos helping earthquake victims in Nepal; a group of women from different countries gather around a mother when her toddler melts down in an airport.
Rev. Tet examines how our faith is in pursuit of such moments and how we are called to make those moments last, boundless and timeless until such practices are normalized in all human communities. Unitarians who think we are unique in producing such momets are like Christians who think they are experts in the two basic Christian tenets - love God and love your neighbor. Unitarians are called to learn from humanity, outside its own walls. In learning from those moments, we do not give birth to the new, but we aid in normalizing what people have already been practicing outside our walls - empathy, radical welcome, diversity.
