There is no more powerful, challenging, or rewarding spiritual practice than deep listening,” writes the Rev. Cat Cox. We name this truth and its importance and place in our tradition in our UUCM orientation sessions. With this service, we encourage our deep listening, for the sake of our community, our nation, our world, our close-in circles, and our own selves.
