The UUCFM O.P.E.N. (Our Purpose: Exclude Nobody) Diversity Committee was formed in 2022
to address, explore, educate, learn about, and respond to the diversity of the human experience
assisting our members, staff, friends and visitors to greet with joy diverse perspectives and
backgrounds. By building on our Congregation’s traditions of outreach, we seek to become an
ever more inclusive, equitable, and culturally dexterous Beloved Community.
We are announcing a 10-week workshop series called; Bridging the Divides: Fostering
Positive Race Relations; to begin early in May on the UUCFM campus. The workshop series is
a collaborative effort by UUCFM and Rev. Dr. Barrion Staples and several local sponsoring
organizations.
You will be hearing more about this community-wide program in the weeks
ahead.
For now, we are kicking off a national Faithify (UU version of GoFundMe) campaign this week to help fund the program. We are setting a goal of $5,000 to help defray expenses associated with the program to make it affordable for all to participate.
Please go to this Faithify link http://raceandethics.com/ to contribute to this important OPEN Diversity program. It’s an all-or-nothing campaign. If we don’t make the goal, we get nothing. So, your contribution is important. Also, post the link on your social media platforms.
