Worship Leaders: Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray
Worship Associate: Rev. Ian W. Riddell

Join us as we share this recorded service from UUA president, Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray. We're all connected: an interdependent whole. Therefore, says Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray, "covenant is our religious response to our fundamental interdependence." We make promises about how to be together, and how to be in the world. We also fall short of honoring those promises, inviting us to repair and strengthen the strands of community. The choice to mend broken strands of the web is an act of faithfulness.

In the past several years, Black writers such as Ibram Kendi, Ijeoma Oluo, and Adrienne Maree Brown have given us valuable advice on becoming actively anti-racist in our personal lives and our communities. As Unitarian Universalists continue to deepen their commitments, and their actions, toward a more just and equitable world, Jen Simon reflects on some necessary conditions UU congregations need to nurture in order to do this work in community.
