I am working on a project about the understanding of hope in Unitarian Universalism. It has a more contemporary focus, but draws on older texts too. Do you know of a Unitarian Universalist sermon on hope? An article? Book? Blog post? Something else? Post it in the comments. Link to your blog. Sermon. Or something else. Self-promote!
p.s. If you know of academic literature on hope (theology, philosophy or really anything else) I would love to know about that too.

Native of Kentucky and Ohio. Student of Christianity, religion, democracy, sexuality, suffering/healing, and gender. Lover of animals, my cats, books, my sweet babies, my family, and cozy, warm homes. Interested in how to make the world a more just and loving place, and in trying to be less serious and more fun. I am both amazed and intrigued by the ways that we journey through this life and make sense of it all and envision this (now occasional) blog as place to reflect on all of the above.

Oh, it’s called The Growing Season, and it seems that “faith” is the word used, not “hope,” which I always think it’s about. It’s a meditation by Sarah York, formerly Sarah Moores Campbell:

I wrote a sermon recently that you can use. If you’d like it, email me and I’ll send you a copy.
I’m a little late to give input perhaps, but I do have a sermon on HOPE. My sermon page is linked to our church web page which is uustatesboro.org
Are you still looking? I’ve got something if you’d like.
