Introduction, Session 4: The Power of Place
In "Sing to the Power," a Tapestry of Faith program
Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door. — Charles Dickens
The power of the earth is the power of place. Children discover how connection to one's location allows reaching out to others in the particularity of their location. In the story of a connection between a Unitarian Universalist congregation in Oakland, California and a Unitarian church in Ok'land, Transylvania participants see effective justice work based on all parties honoring the unique perspectives, gifts, and needs that arise in a particular location.
If your congregation has a partner church, you may wish to use Alternate Activity 3.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.
