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. Sessions: 4 Sundays (first Sunday of the month) Fee: $25 Dates: Feb. 7; March 7; April 4; May 2 Time: 1:00-3:00 | ||

Through readings and group discussions, participants in this class will learn about the interaction between Peak Oil and Climate Change, and then envision a resilient community approach to resource depletion, financial downsizing and climate instability. Using The Transition Handbook by Rob Hopkins as a resource, class members will combine their own thoughts and experiences with information from reading to explore discussion questions with a trained facilitator.
