Registration for the fall series of Beloved Conversations (Virtual): Within through the Meadville-Lombard Theological School is open through August 31st. Sign up here. Scholarships are available! This virtual course is meant for white people who are ready to learn more about how knowledge, hope, imagination, love, and community can come together to combat racism in all its forms. Join dozens of your UUCM peers in completing this reflective education that is a great first step towards your own growth and helping our entire congregation on our journey to becoming anti-racist. From the Beloved Conversations: Within website on outcomes: “The aim of Beloved Conversations is to underline that racial justice work (and the self-understanding and personal work that are essential to it) is the work of our lifetime, and we engage it in different ways…everyone has work to do and we will all have different learning goals and outcomes. And the learning is never done- it only shifts and changes over time.” The course includes a series of 6 virtual lessons that drop to your inbox every other week from September 10 through December 3, 2024. Each participant is also assigned to a virtual study group that will meet every other week (at a time of the group’s choosing) via Zoom to process the lessons. Please contact Karen Zais with any questions.
