Upcoming Service

Land Acknowledgement

Dorothy Swain & Stephanie Rumrill-McBrayer

The UUGP Land Acknowledgment, started four years ago, has sparked a variety of responses in our members and friends. Is it a courageous act of truth telling, or an act of self-flagellation? A significant thread in the larger fabric of social change, or a misguided and ultimately empty gesture? Please join us to participate in conversation about our Land Acknowledgment, guided by our seven principles and with the goal of greater understanding and compassion for friends whose views differ from our own. As part of the service, you will be invited to share your thoughts about the strongest reasons for keeping the Land Acknowledgment the way it is and the strongest reasons for changing it. Can you articulate both perspectives with curiosity and compassion?
