Rather than a technical discussion of "Critical Race Theory" which currently seems like a landmine in our culture wars, we're going to have an open conversation about race in America.
I will present 3 ideas about how our constructions of race keep reshaping our vision of what America is and what we aspire to become. There will be room for all those present to share their views. I'll be using the "Pizza method" of preaching yet again: I deliver one slice at a time and we chew on it (talk about it) together.
Bring your thoughts, memories, and your hopes to share.

I'll be using “the pizza method of preaching" - that is, serving one pizza slice at a time so we can chew on it (discuss it) together. Come so we can learn from each other.

In the beginnings of our UU faith in New England, many identified as Unitarian or Universalist Christians.
One description of our roots says that Unitarian Christians believed in the “Fatherhood of God, the Brotherhood of Jesus and the Neighborhood of Boston.” A more contemporary summary might be “A human Jesus meets a reasonable God.”
Come learn about our roots and take a self-score inventory.
