Love Thy Neighbor

Viv Monahan

December 12, 2012

The ancient Golden Rule “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” exists in some form in virtually every religious, ethical, cultural, and philosophical tradition. It is also familiar to us as “love thy neighbor as thyself”. There are no illegal human beings, just a common human family. Right now in the United States, millions of people live here without documentation. They are being detained and deported by the hundreds of thousands, treated as criminals and not allowed the due process even our worst criminals receive. As loving people of faith and reason, Unitarian Universalists are called to witness this injustice and apply the Golden Rule. What if it were happening to me? What if it were happening to you? This service is provided by our Congregation’s Social Justice Committee.
