Please join us on Sunday (2 April 2017) at 9:15 AM for our adult religious education class — #UUWhiteSupremacyTeachIn.
This morning will be an exploration of a turning point in the racial history of the Unitarian Universalist Association.
We are a faith tradition whose ministers and laypersons rushed to Selma to march with Dr. King.
We are also a faith tradition that has tread awkwardly and sometimes stumbled over the issue of race within our own community.
We take some time this morning to explore a part of that complex history.
Children and youth religious education classes will be exploring anti-racism work through an age-appropriate lens during our 11:00 AM classes for them.
