    Spirit of Life, come unto me.
    Sing in my heart all the stirrings of compassion.
    Blow in the wind, rise in the sea;
    Move in the hand, giving life the shape of justice.
    Roots hold me close; wings set me free;
    Spirit of Life, come to me, come to me.

    (from the song "Spirit of Life" by Carolyn McDade)

    Many UU congregations recite the following affirmation:

    "Love is our doctrine, the quest for truth is our sacrament, and service is our prayer."

  • Justice

    The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.

    (UU Theologian, Theodore Parker)

  • Love

    Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.

    (Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.)

How Many Clickers Does It Take To Make an Afghan? No, this is not a retelling of the old "light bulb" joke, but Sue Coy and I thought you'd be interested in the amount of effort and love that becomes part of each block afghan created by Clicking for a Cause.clickers1
There are 49 blocks in each full-sized afghan and we estimate that this represents the creative work of 12 Clickers. An average of 5 Clickers organize the blocks and lay out the afghan design during our monthly Thursday meeting.

Then the rows of blocks, now pinned to keep their design order, are hand-sewn together. Each afghan is divided among 4 Clickers. Once the hand sewn assembly is complete, 1 Clicker crochets a border edging around the afghan to finish it off. The final touch is a fabric label that marks the afghan as a creation of Clicking for a Cause. 1 Clicker machine sews the labels. All this effort is coordinated by 2 Clicker Co-leaders. How's your math?
