Pray Like a UU

Many UUs don’t pray because of bad experiences in a previous religion, theological disagreements, or simply because we’ve fallen out of practice. But prayer is one of the oldest and most universal spiritual practices known to humanity, and it can be meaningful and helpful to us no matter what our beliefs.
