Jazz legend Miles Davis once famously said: "It’s not the note you play that’s the wrong note – it’s the note you play afterwards that makes it right or wrong." Jazz encourages and requires moving forward without entirely knowing where you are going. How might this kind of thinking play out in the rest of our lives?
Rev. Jim Magaw serves the Unitarian Universalist Church of the South Hills in Pittsburgh, PA, where he lives with his wife Marta and 13-year-old daughter Ella. Jim earned his master of divinity degree from Meadville Lombard Theological School in Chicago, and he completed a 2-year student ministerial internship from 2011-2013 at ERUUF. He was ordained at ERUUF in November 2013.

Researchers tell us that while Americans have sorted themselves into like minded groups, the affirmation we receive from those around us first creates then amplifies our fear of others who “are not like us”. But how much of our fear is real? Or useful? What could we do differently? And why is this spiritually important?
