Engaging in the Work of Inclusion

The District Anti-Racism and Diversity
Committee is asking every congregation in the District to convene a
conversation on the topic of inclusion in the coming months. At the 2009
General Assembly, delegates overwhelmingly passed two responsive
resolutions on this subject, looking at replacing the language of
“non-discrimination” in the UUA’s By-Laws with more positive and
constructive language. One of these resolutions called upon our
congregations to begin conversations about how we can make inclusion a
reality in our local communities. In early January 2010, congregational
leaders were sent a
special
resource and information packet 
to help spark these conversations. We hope to report to the UUA that our
entire District has taken up this call. For more information, feel free
to contact the Rev. Dr. Michael Tino,
ARDC co-chairperson -

out of business and that oppression against bisexual, gay, lesbian, and/or
transgender people, whether it be overt or subtle, will be a thing of the
past." |
