Please join us for an all-congregational Common Read this Spring which will explore many facets of our congregational life and how we can collectively grow into a beloved community that fully embodies our UU values.

The UUA Common Read for 2022-23 is Mistakes and Miracles: Congregations on the Road to Multiculturalism (Skinner House Books, 2019). In this book, co-authors Nancy Palmer Jones and Karin Lin—a white minister and a lay person of color—explore five UU congregations' journeys toward Beloved Community and share the joy, disappointment, and growth these congregations found.

Today, UU congregations are grappling with a charge to dismantle white supremacy in ourselves, our communities, and our world. As we enter a Common Read of this book, we find ourselves receiving its report with a changed spirit and an urgent need for multiculturalism and antiracism work in our congregations and our movement.

Kindle and audiobook versions are also available.

Sponsored by the UUSM Adult Programs Committee, Faith In Action, and the Intersectional Anti-Racism/Anti-Oppression Commission (IARAO).
