Heroes of Service: How are UU Congregations Uniquely Positioned for Sacred Resistance?

Guest CB Beal encourages us to develop congregational cultures and communities of strength where being brave is more important than being right, and where service to others is more important than the role in which we serve. Mundane, “supporting cast” actions are foundational for effective resistance.

Resources shared in this program:

• September 2025 The Gathering recording and accompanying materials on Solidarity, with Deepa Iyer

• Congregational Asset Mapping Guide from Side With Love

• UUA’s Community Resilience Hub includes a curated selection of resources, trainings, guides, etc. from the UUA and partner organizations

CB Beal, M.Div (they/them), does human-scale social justice, gender, and sexuality education and group development to create stronger teams and more resilient, inclusive communities, all with the goal of bending the moral and material arc of the universe towards justice.
