Activity 5: Rights in Conflict
Tapestry is Sunsetting
The UUA is no longer updating Tapestry of Faith programs.
Activity time: 10 minutes
Description of Activity
Invite participants to reflect on the challenge of making day-to-day ethical decisions with a rights-based framework. Use these questions to guide the discussion:
- In the past, how have you made decisions about which rights to affirm and promote in the day-to-day activities of your life? Have you gained any insight from this workshop that will now help you make those decisions?
- How does our faith community decide which rights to affirm and promote in congregational life and in social justice ministries?
- Do our choices inevitably create a hierarchy of rights, with some more important than others? If so, how do we address that dilemma for ourselves individually? As a faith community?
- PREVIOUS: Activity 4: Are Rights Absolute?
- UP: Workshop 5: Natural, Legal, and Human Rights
- NEXT: Closing
