According to important myth, our Universalist ancestor John Murray famously said, "Give them not hell, but hope and courage." But, hope for what, exactly? During these times, it is critical to search for hope: hope for a renewal of commitment, of community, and of contentment. We also must have the courage to forge ahead and create these new incarnations we seek. Will we find hope when hope is hard to find? And can we find the courage to give it away?
