The last year has seen Unitarian Universalists get involved in #blacklivesmatter protests, the commemorative march to Selma, and a renewed commitment to racial justice. For many of us, the conversation about American racism that we’ve been hoping for seems like it might be starting to happen. At the same time, the focus on racial justice that we crave also highlights the places where our liberal religious tradition doesn’t always know quite how to engage us as people of color.
As we navigate the currents of change moving through Unitarian Universalism, this group provides space for people who identify as POC to come together in covenant to reflect and share where our faith is calling us now.
CLF Covenant groups are grounded in the practice of deep listening. Taking to heart Parker Palmer’s small group commitment to “no fixing, saving, or setting each other straight,” this is a place for sharing hopes and fears, challenges and aspirations.
