Mistakes and Miracles:  Congregations on the Road to Multiculturalism

What calls Unitarian Universalists to create multicultural, antiracist Beloved Community? What do congregations need when they embark on this journey? What common threads run through their stories?

Discussion Group
Facilitated by Fran Hoag and Rev Ian

Mondays on February 13, 20 and 27
@6:30 – 8 pm
In-person

The Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging Ministry team and the Lifespan Spiritual Growth team are sponsoring this all-congregation common read. We’re inviting all of us to read this book which shares the stories of five UU congregations and their journey toward building the beloved community. We’ll have opportunities for individual and collective thinking, conversation, and reflection as we think about our own journey as a congregation.

Description: “Nancy Palmer Jones and Karin Lin—a white minister and a lay person of color—share how five diverse congregations encounter frustrations and disappointments, as well as hope and wonder, once they commit to the journey. Mistakes abound. Miracles of transformation and joy emerge too. Extensively researched and thoughtfully written—with reflection questions at the end of each chapter.”

Participants must read the book and pre-register. Print books are out of stock, although E-Books may be purchased at Amazon.com.  The church also has a few print books available for loan.  Contact Rev Ian if you would like a copy.
