Nicole shares a heart-felt letter about her experience living at the intersection of military life and Unitarian Universalism. As we commit ourselves to the ever-widening circle of welcome, can we draw the circle even wider? In doing so, we might be surprised to learn about the values we share and the ways in which we can deepen our understanding of one another through dialogue. Let us come together to begin the conversation.
