Creating a Jubilee World:Creating a Jubilee World
On this weekend, congregational leaders are participating in the Creating a Jubilee World training. We have explored our own prejudices and institutionalized racism. This Sunday's worship will be celebration of the anti-racism work already completed and a challenge to create an anti-racist and multicultural church. How can we as religious people be accountable to minorities, people of color and the disadvantaged while striving to end racism and oppression?
Many jokes have been told about “standing at the pearly gates” and having to account for the deeds that one did while on earth. In the absence of a Divine Judge, to whom are we accountable? If you were accused of being a Unitarian Universalist, would there be enough evidence to convict you?
