Mistakes and Miracles: Common Read Discussion Group 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). |

Mixing Politics and Religion Is a Holy Task George Regas, pastor emeritus of All Saints Episcopal Church, Pasadena, is one of the leading voices in the faith-based movement for peace and justice in Southern California. He is the founder of Regas Institute, which is dedicated to the study of progressive religious causes, and Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace (ICUJP), which facilitates interfaith dialogue on important moral issues of the time. A sermon he delivered at All Saints the Sunday before the 2004 election led to an audit by the IRS and public debate about the role of the pulpit and politics. |
