Daring to Discover Life

For most Unitarian Universalists, Easter is not about a literal resurrection story but rather about a political, personal, and collective pursuit of life in death-dealing situations that threaten the mind, spirit and even the body.  The earliest Christian imagery was not of death (the cross), but life.  Where can you dare to discover life today?  Adventure this Easter with us past the tomb.
