Sunday Worship: How to be an Anti-Racist Congregation

Hybrid: Online and In-Person 72425 Via Vail, Rancho Mirage, CA, United States

Worship Leader: Rev. Jen Simon
Worship Associate: Sarita Gonzales

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.

Neurodivergence is a large category for all the ways people’s brains can be different from “typical”. That includes autism, sensory sensitivity, long covid, C-PTSD, anxiety, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, and more.

Adopting the 8th principle was the beginning of our journey towards spiritual wholeness and our work to dismantle racism and all forms of oppression. Examining our abelist biases is another facet of our anti-oppression work.
