Me and White Supremacy: Combat Racism, Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor
by Layla Saad - SURJ Book Discussion

We will be meeting every 2 weeks or so on Thursday evenings or Sunday mornings to read and dicuss the Layla Saad book, Me and White Supremacy, available at Barnes & Noble, Target and the Clark County Library. You can also get it on Amazon. This is a follow-up after our first book, Ijeoma Oluo's So You Wanna Talk About Race. We will go through this book one chapter at a time and each chapter represents one day (It was originally written as a 28 day exercise) and do the journaling at the end of each chapter to discuss when we meet. There is a lot to unpack and we want to honor the process so we will be taking this book at a slower pace.. We will meet each time in person at UUCLV.

Please see the dates below for the next 3 months:
Thursday, February 2 - 5:30pm - Day 1
Sunday, February 26 - 8:30am - Day 1 and Day 2 (if we are ready)
Sunday, March 19 - 8:30am - Day 2
Thursday, April 6 - 5:30pm - Day 2 and Day 3 (if we are ready)
Sunday, April 16 - 8:30am - Day 3
Thursday, May 4 - 5:30pm - Day 3 and Day 4 (if we are ready)
This is just for the first 3 months. We will post more dates as we get closer.

Liberation Theology for UUs

Liberation Theology for UUs
with The Reverend Gordon Clay Bailey

Starting November 8, 2022 - Monthly on the second Tuesday*

Nov 8 - Dec 13
Jan 10 - Feb 7*
Mar 14 - Apr 11

Many of you may have never thought about Liberation Theology? I imagine if you did, it certainly wasn’t connected to Unitarian Universalism. Yet, within these 6 sessions of "A Reason For Hope" the plan is that each of us will find our very own incarnation of liberation theology as UUs.

“A Reason For Hope" challenges us to confront the inequalities in the world and to act on the foundations of our liberal faith… The book is an articulate examination of the role that liberation theology can have on our Unitarian Universalist faith tradition and an opportunity through the study guide to become informed, responsive and responsible change agents for justice. In clear, concise language, this book is an invitation to take our rich heritage for equity seriously."
-Rev Roberta Nelson, Cedar Lane Unitarian Church (emeritus)

So come zoom in with us as we begin to unpack where we've been, where we might go, and how we can build a UU theology that has freedom for all at its core.

See you on the Second Tuesday Night,
The Reverend Gordon Clay Bailey
