Human rights activist Peter Lippman will speak on Wednesday April 14 at 7 pm about the story of Srebrenica and the survivors' struggle for survival, recovery, and dignity.

Towards the end of the 1992-1995 Bosnian war, over eight thousand
Muslim men and boys were rounded up and
massacred in Srebrenica.  The atrocity left thousands of women without a home, struggling to support families and recover from the trauma.  Some of these women founded Bosfam, a self-help organization and crafts cooperative, where they create and market clothing and handicrafts, including the traditional “kilim” carpet.  
Bosfam is weaving a Srebrenica Memorial Quilt to commemorate the 1995 massacre, made up of small kilim panels stitched together, each bearing the name of a lost loved-one.  

The quilt will hang in UUC’s chapel for one week, from April 11 to 18,

This class will acquaint persons with the founding and developing beliefs of Unitarians and Universalists.  Particular attention will be given to their history in the United States since the late 1700’s.  The course may serve as a panorama of beliefs in which individuals may find both grounding and
encouragement for their own personal religious/spiritual core.  Learning about the historical development of these two faith traditions may also induce a sense of appreciation about the accomplishments and current challenges of Unitarian Universalism.
