Our newly adopted covenant

We, the members and friends of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Buffalo,
beginning with ourselves as we are, covenant together in love to

Celebrate and find joy in our diversity,
Honor our history and heritage while staying open to the future,
Be generous with our time and our treasure,
Strive for truth and justice within and beyond our congregation,
Relate to all who come here with kindness, respect and compassion,
Learn from one another, and
Honor the sacred in all its expressions.

When we fail, we will acknowledge our shortcomings,
make amends as we can, give and seek forgiveness,
and move forward again in love and community.

July 20: Lessons of the K-Drama
by Julie Taylor

In a futile attempt to stave off the effects of my aging brain, I have fallen into the habit of watching K-Dramas, or Korean Dramas. A cross between an afternoon soap opera and a prime time drama, these stories contain all the wonders of falling in love, of living in an interconnected web of existence, of gently questioning authority, of finding one’s way in the tangled mess that surrounds us. The experience of watching one show that is composed of 16 episodes, each an hour and a half, in Korean, can teach more than a lesson on Korean culture. It can delve into the world of how to heal the spirit in a chaotic world.
