Come listen to a WUU service! In this service we will be exploring what we can do as individuals in the midst of trying times (and aren't there ALWAYS trying times?) to come above the conflict, angst, and hate that may surround us.

When it comes to singing Billy Taylor’s “I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free” (as popularized by Nina Simone) as one of our hymns — #151 in Singing the Living Tradition — some urge caution to those who enjoy white privilege on the basis that we don’t know what it’s like not to be free. As the Rev. Kimberley Debus puts it, “we don’t have, in our living memory, a...
