    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.)

people from different racial and ethnic groups understand and relate to one another.

In another breakout group, Southeast District President and member of the UU Fellowship of Beaufort, SC Jim Key will facilitate a discussion on "Race and Place: Finding Opportunities for Witness and Linkage."

Pat Callair, Chair of Southeast District implementation Committee (The SED Dream Team), will facilitate "Seeing Everyone as our Own."

The conference is part of Eno River's Installation Weekend when Rev. Deborah Cayer will be recognized and celebrated as Eno River's fourth Lead Minister. A Service of

Installation will take place at 4 p.m., Sun., Feb. 12, 2012 in the Fellowship's Sanctuary. Rev. Cayer has expressed her wish that the subject of congregational diversity be made a

focus during Installation Weekend. The one-day conference is a fulfillment of that wish. In addition, the theme will be extended the next day when Rev. Forde preaches on a similar

topic at both morning services.
