Meet the Moment is a movement-wide framework designed to help Unitarian Universalists analyze present-day realities and discern faithful, values-based responses. It provides shared language and guiding questions to support congregations and leaders as they assess the conditions shaping their communities and determine how to respond with clarity and purpose.
This collection from UU World gathers reporting and reflection on the framework’s development, its current implementation, and the ways it is taking shape in congregational life. Together, these reports illustrate the growing momentum of this work and provide a glimpse of how it may continue to evolve in the months and years ahead.
