Our wesite is designed to be easy to use. Just type www.cuub.org in your favorite web browser and you’re there, face to face with, oh my, “The Holy Family.” Don’t be thrown off, we are a welcoming community. It’s just that the photo is what you call a “stock” photo, chosen by the web designer and integrated into the design of the web page itself, which is why a more diverse picture has not replaced it, as yet. But we are working on it. send us your ideas and and suggestions, especially representative “stock photos ” that we have permission to use.

The Blog will be a great way to share ideas, comment on sermons, make announcements, doing what Cuubies do, interacting and caring. There are safeguards though, innaproapriate behaviors will not be tolerated and will be removed. I’m sure we will learn as we go.

What an incredible read! The UU principle around the dignity of each person is hard to assert when you are being occupied by a race who denies individual humanity at every turn. The degradation by the Spanish and Japanese is clear, but I know of the racism practiced by the Americans, particularly of the military, when I served in the Peace Corps in the late 60’s. By then Filipinos were struggling with Democracy and Marcos was a popularly elected President. Still the money and the power corrupted him, as it does to all that have such significant power over others.

The story was such a powerful comment on hope, however. Yet, the differences of economic and ethnic disparity continue to haunt the political landscape and the well being of the Filipino. The vestiges of occupation are not easily overcome. The evolution of their society is not over, as it is not over for us. Principled people just have to keep the faith and never give up.
