"Such values as we are concerned with cannot be communicated except as they are set in operation....This is why I have so often said that a faith which is so largely a faith of dynamic ethical and intellectual values should make method the heart of its curriculum." Angus MacLean, Unitarian Universalist religious educator

Happy Thanksgiving!
Hoping that everyone can take some time to name what it is you are grateful for, today, tomorrow, and everyday. In the spirit of Gandhi's quote, "Be the change you want to see in the world," being intentionally and outwardly grateful is a wonderful place to start.
