In the face of dehumanization, devastation, and death, humans have gathered throughout the centuries to create life affirming communities of faith. Here, together, we practice the art and science of loving each other through the messy, glorious chaos of life. Invite your beloveds to join you in worship as we engage in spiritual practices that sustain us and give us courage for the call to collective liberation. Rev. Deanna Vandiver (she/her/they) is a Minister of Love and Liberation affiliated with the Church of the Larger Fellowship Unitarian Universalist. She lives with her partner on the land of the Coastal Salish people known as the Suquamish, “the people of the clear salt water,” where she organizes, creates, & soaks in as much sustaining beauty as possible in this time of great unraveling.
