A curriculum to help uproot racism
At the heart of Unitarian Universalist spirituality is the call to justice, equity and compassion in human relations. The power structure of racism is a spiritual affront that we work to overcome.
There is a sense of real urgency to this work. We would like to be as effective as possible, given the climate of hate and oppression in the US at present. However despite all the best intentions, many UU congregations have struggled to become multi-cultural and engage people of color in their communities. This struggle can be an unspoken source of shame, guilt or even self-hatred for liberal white people of faith. It holds us back and lessens the impact we would like to have in the world.
