Adult Faith Development: Building the World We Dream About

Sep 18, 2020 | Featured

This  Wednesday Thing PROGRAM continues on 2nd & 4th Wednesdays, 7pm, through December 9.  Drop in any time.

Learn how to develop anti-racist habits and skills that will show us a path to building the beloved community we dream about. We’ll use our own personal histories and UU beliefs and values to understand anti-racism work through frank conversation and reflection about race. Participants are encouraged to attend all sessions, although drop-ins are OK, too.

“We need to approach racism as it exists in our lives today, and not as an exercise in studying history. We need to share our experiences and viewpoints, and listen with open hearts and minds to each other, especially when we disagree.”
