Promise and Practice Sunday: Support BLUU in Your Congregation
Promise and Practice Sunday
By Cheri Taylor
We are asking all congregations to dedicate a Sunday between November 12 and February 4 to center the history, the perspectives, the voices and the leadership of Black Unitarian Universalists.
It takes a commitment to do something truly different as we are called to be bold and revolutionary in how we are living, leading, and giving to support the work to dismantle white supremacy, racism, and oppression from within and beyond.
Checks should be made payable to the UUA, referencing "Promise and Practice/BLUU" in the memo line, and sent to the Stewardship and Developmet Office at the UUA in Boston.
