#UUWhiteSupremacyTeachIn - Rev. Rachel Lonberg - May 7, 2017

The Black Lives of Unitarian Universalism (BLUU), in response to the racial inequity in hiring practices at the Unitarian Universalist Association called on UU congregations to spend one Sunday this spring focusing worship on white supremacy. In their invitation, BLUU leaders wrote “’White Supremacy’ is a provocative phrase, as it conjures up images of hoods and mobs. Yet in 2017, actual ‘white supremacists’ are not required in order to uphold white supremacist culture. Building a faith full of people who understand that key distinction is essential as we work toward a more just society in difficult political times.” We join with 500 UU congregations in answering this invitation and building a faith full of people with this understanding.
