When whiteness is the “default” in society, people of color become relegated to the margins–unless they assimilate into whiteness. This is what’s called “white cultural supremacy” or “white supremacy culture.” On this Racial Justice Sunday, the day before our Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, we explore in what ways white cultural supremacy is part of … Continue reading When Whiteness is the Norm

The Principles have been part of Unitarian Universalism for what feels like forever. Now, it seems as if our living tradition may evolve to replace the Principles with Shared Values. Today, we explore those Values and how they’re similar and different from the Principles–through music!

In this service, we honor our elders as we discover how we can age gracefully–and create a society in which we treat our … Continue reading Growing Old’s Not for the Faint of Heart
