Widening the Circle of Concern – a study and action series led by area UU ministers and religious educators
Registration is extended until January 17 at midnight. If you are interested, please register at this link.
The Unitarian Universalist Church of Urbana-Champaign will join Abraham Lincoln UU Congregation of Springfield, Unitarian Universalist Church of Urbana-Champaign, and the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Decatur, in a weekly study and action workshop focused on Widening the Circle of Concern: Report of the UUA Commission on Institutional Change. This report represents thousands of hours by the Commission on Institutional Change as they heard testimony from UU People of Color and other UUs, analyzed data, and explored how White Supremacy Culture lives in our Unitarian Universalist institutions. This collaboration asks its participants to read, reflect, discuss and act. This is a great opportunity to meet Unitarian Universalists from neighboring congregations.
We will meet via Zoom on Thursday evenings from 7:00-8:30pm.
The first class will be held on January 21, 2021 and we will meet weekly until April 1.The minister and religious educators of these congregations will facilitate the sessions.
The entire report can be accessed here. A print friendly version, or paper copy, will be sent after January 10. Michele Grove also has copies of the book if you wish to borrow or purchase for $16.00 each. Any borrowed books can be returned after the study to the UUCUC’s library.
This is some of our most important work and a priority for our congregation. We hope you will join us. For more information, contact Michele Grove, interim director of religious education at re-director@uucuc.org or Florence Caplow, lead minister at minister@uucuc.org.
