As Unitarian Universalists, many of us have engaged in a struggle for social justice.  Understanding racism in the U.S. as a systemic issue as well as a personal issue is crucial to this struggle.  Have we also considered the spiritual consequences of racism?  In 2001 the UUA convened a group of scholars and theologians to reflect on racism, and the resulting papers and responses were compiled in “Soul Work: Anti-Racist Theologies in Dialogue.”  Join us for a discussion of this important book, which examines the personal, social and theological implications of racism.
